It sounds like poor surface preparation, sand back and redo.We had just painted our laundry floor with paving paint and now its peeling off ?
Laundry area are usually wet. Before applying a primer, see to it that floor is totally dry, fix all cracks/crevices and apply waterproofing/non-skid paint.
if your used an oil based paint over a surface that is prone to moisture the paint will lift. If this is the case, scrape the loose paint and sand any residual paint and coat with a good quality acrylic latex porch and floor paint. It may wear thin but it won't lift so readily.
Did you sand the existing floor before you painted? If not it could be that the old floor was not primed properly and you'll have to sand the floor again to remove the new/old paint... Rent a sander and do it right.. Sand the floor, vacuum the floor, mop the floor until no dust/dirt....Prime the floor...paint the floor, and seal the floor.....Also, wear protective gear for the sanding....
scrap off the finish you have put down, and use a high solids epoxy
