Frequently Asked

Concrete resurfacing, answered plainly.

The questions we get asked most often, answered plainly. If yours is not here, call us on 0414 333 600 or send us a message — we respond within 24 hours.

How long does concrete resurfacing take?

Most driveways take 2–3 days from start to finish, depending on size and weather. We’ll give you a firm timeframe once we’ve seen the job.

My driveway is slippery when wet — will resurfacing fix that?

Yes. Our coating is one of the most slip-resistant finishes available for outdoor concrete, rated P5 — the top slip rating for exterior surfaces. It stays grippy even in the rain, which is exactly the problem most Sydney driveways have after years of wear.

Can you resurface a steep driveway?

Yes, steep and sloped driveways are one of the jobs we do most often, and it’s exactly where a proper slip-rated finish matters most.

What is your product and how is it applied?

We use a high-strength, cement-based resurfacing compound, sprayed on with a purpose-built spray gun and air compressor. This gives a consistent, durable finish that bonds properly to your existing concrete — not a roll-on or brush-applied coating.

Since it’s sprayed on, will it get on my walls, garage door, or plants?

No. We fully mask and protect all surrounding surfaces — walls, garage doors, garden beds, pool fencing — before we start spraying.

Will resurfacing change the height of my driveway around drains, garage doors, or door thresholds?

No. The coating is only a few millimetres thick, so there’s no risk of trip hazards or drainage issues — heights and clearances stay the same.

What’s the difference between resurfacing and just painting concrete?

Paint typically lasts 6–12 months before it needs redoing, and painted concrete tends to get slippery, especially when wet. Our resurfacing is a proper bonded overlay, not a paint film — it lasts around 20 years and keeps its non-slip properties the whole time.

Will it fade or yellow in the sun?

No. The finish is UV stable, so it won’t yellow or fade the way some cheaper coatings do after a few Sydney summers.

Can you resurface over Pebblecrete?

Yes — we’ve been resurfacing Pebblecrete driveways for over 10 years. We apply a skim coat first to flatten the pebble texture, then spray our finish over the top. You won’t see or feel the Pebblecrete underneath; it comes up looking like any of our other freshly resurfaced driveways.

What happens to existing joints and saw cuts?

We colour-match and coat them, but they’re left open. Joints need to stay free to move — that’s what stops cracking.

I have an existing stencil or stamped pattern — what are my options?

Two options: we can coat directly over it (the pattern profile will still be faintly visible underneath), or remove the existing pattern first for a completely flat, uniform finish. Both options perform the same in terms of durability and lifespan.

What about existing cracks in my concrete?

We fill all visible cracks before coating, so they won’t be visible once finished. There’s a small chance a crack can reappear over time — that comes down to ground movement, which is outside anyone’s control, not a fault in the resurfacing itself.

Should I replace my old concrete or resurface it?

For most driveways, resurfacing is the better option. You get a like-new result at a fraction of the cost, time, and disruption of ripping out and repouring slabs.

What does concrete resurfacing cost?

Every driveway is different — the price depends on size, condition, and finish. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.

Do I need to do anything to prepare before the job starts?

Just clear cars, pot plants, and any furniture off the driveway before we arrive — we’ll handle the masking, cleaning, and surface prep from there.

Most of these questions come up while people are deciding between services. Our core service is concrete resurfacing; if your surface is pebblecrete, see pebblecrete resurfacing. For a slippery or steep driveway, see anti-slip and steep driveways.

If you have a stencil pattern, there are two different jobs: stencil pattern removal, where the pattern goes, and stencil pattern resurfacing, where the pattern stays. For a speckled rather than plain surface, see fleck finish concrete.
