Our History

Established in 1927, Watco originally provided specialist wood care and timber treatments, before expanding our range to include dustproofers and sealers for concrete surfaces. The Watco name became well known for improving warehouses and working environments, providing effective solutions for reducing dust, and making floors easier to clean. Soon, our range expanded to include concrete floor paint, which was used to help repair and rebuild across the country after WWII.

We became the first company to produce and sell two-pack epoxy resin products directly to the end user. They were specialist products which were designed by our chemists to be accessible to non-specialists – easy to use but with excellent quality results. We introduced Concrex, an epoxy resin repair mortar, which remains a bestseller today. Our anti slip range was growing, and Safety Grip was improving safety conditions for businesses all over the UK. Truly innovative products, these remain bestsellers today.

Watco's success has spread to France, Germany, and the USA, while our products are being exported worldwide. We continue to be at the forefront of the design and innovation of flooring products, creating unique formulations to bring you products which do things that others don’t.

Our history and success has been modelled and built around constant innovation, development and passion to bring you the best. We can only do this by making sure we're always at the forefront of technological advancements. That's why we have a team of chemists who tirelessly research, improve and develop the latest in resin technology.

Listening to customers helps us create the best quality products on the market. That's why we pay close attention to the feedback and comments we receive to find solutions and engineer paint technology to make your projects easier.
