Stencil Pattern Resurfacing
Resurface Over Your Existing Stencil Pattern
On this page, the pattern stays. We coat directly over your existing stencil or stamped concrete, so the colour and finish are restored while the pattern profile remains visible underneath.
Who this is for
Plenty of people like their stencil pattern and simply want it to stop looking tired. The layout suits the house, the pattern matches a path or a courtyard, or it is just what they are used to. If the pattern is fine and the colour is the problem, coating over the top is faster, cheaper and does the job.
We resurface over your existing pattern; we do not lay a new stencil pattern down.

Worth knowing
What To Expect When You Keep Your Stencil Pattern
Be clear on what you will see
- This is worth saying plainly: the pattern does not disappear.
- The profile of the existing stencil lines will still read through the new finish.
- For most people that is the whole point.
- If you were hoping for a perfectly flat surface, choose removal instead.
Performance is identical
- Both options use the same cement-based compound and perform the same for durability and lifespan. Both will be textured and non-slip at P5, UV stable, around twenty years.
- On either job, Grinding isn’t part of our standard process. We only grind where a surface needs it, usually to take off old paint or a coating first.
Colour choices
- Anything on our chart.
- A Light Terracotta or Sandstone keeps a traditional brick-pattern driveway looking traditional; a Gunmetal or Charcoal makes the same pattern read as far more contemporary.
Start to finish
Our Stencil Resurfacing Process
We begin with a pressure wash, then mask up walls, garage doors, garden beds and any pool fencing. Visible cracks are filled, and the finish is sprayed directly over your existing stencil pattern in the colour you’ve chosen, then sealed. Grinding isn’t part of our standard process unless a surface needs old paint or a coating removed first. The coating adds only a few millimetres, so there’s no change to height at doors, gates or the garage. Most driveways take two to three days depending on size and weather, and we’ll give you a firm timeframe once we’ve seen the job.
Compare this with stencil pattern removal (where the pattern goes), or read about our standard concrete resurfacing. Browse the colours, see our projects, or view all of our services. For a price, get a free estimate.
All you need to do before we start is clear the areas. We handle the masking, cleaning and surface prep from there.

Any Questions
FAQs
Will the stencil pattern still be visible after resurfacing?
Yes, that’s the whole point of this option. The pattern profile reads through the new finish rather than disappearing. Want to remove it instead?
Is keeping the pattern less durable than removing it?
No, both options use the same compound and perform identically for durability and lifespan.
Can I change the colour while keeping my existing stencil pattern?
Yes, any colour on the chart can be used. A light Terracotta or Sandstone keeps a traditional brick-pattern driveway looking traditional, while Gunmetal or Charcoal gives the same pattern a more contemporary look.
