“Concrete resurfacing” isn’t a single service/product, the right option depends on what your surface looks like now, and what you want it to look like afterwards. Here’s a genuine overview of the finishes we offer, and which potential situation each one suits.
Standard Concrete Resurfacing
The most common starting point is a high-strength, cement-based finish sprayed directly over tired, stained or cracked concrete. It’s suited to driveways, paths, patios, carports and even playgrounds, and comes in any colour on the chart. Every finish below is really a variation on this same base process. See the full concrete resurfacing service for the details.
Pebblecrete Resurfacing
If your existing surface is pebblecrete rather than plain concrete, it needs an extra step first: a skim coat applied over the top to flatten the pebble texture completely before the finish goes on. Once it’s done, you won’t see or feel the pebbles underneath, it comes up looking like any other freshly resurfaced driveway. This is the right option specifically for pebblecrete driveways and pool surrounds. Details on pebblecrete resurfacing here.
Anti-Slip Resurfacing For Steep Driveways
Every finish we apply carries a P5 slip rating, but this option is worth calling out specifically if your driveway is steep, sloped, or turns dangerous in the rain. It’s also commonly used on ramps, pool surrounds, shaded side paths and anywhere that stays damp or gets heavy foot traffic. More on anti-slip resurfacing here.
Stencil Pattern Removal
If your driveway already has a stencilled or stamped pattern and you’d prefer a completely flat, modern, uniform finish, the pattern is removed first, but no jackhammering, the slab stays exactly where it is before the new coating is applied. Full detail on stencil pattern removal.
Stencil Pattern Resurfacing (Pattern Kept)
The opposite option: if you like your existing pattern and just want the colour and finish refreshed, we can spray directly over the top, and the pattern profile stays visible underneath. Both stencil options perform identically for durability, so this really comes down to which look you prefer. See stencil pattern resurfacing for colour examples.
Fleck Finish
A speckled, two-tone finish where the fleck is mixed straight into the coating rather than added as a separate layer. Gunmetal with white fleck is the most requested combination, with French Grey close behind. It’s a good option if you want something with a bit more visual texture than a flat single colour, without the maintenance or feel of actual pebblecrete. More on fleck finish concrete.
