A practical update for suitable concrete
Change the appearance of worn or dated concrete
Concrete resurfacing applies a new decorative system over a properly prepared existing surface. It can improve colour, texture and presentation while avoiding unnecessary demolition where the underlying slab remains suitable.
The result depends on the condition of the existing concrete, preparation, the selected coating system and how the area will be used. Before recommending resurfacing, the slab should be checked for movement, contamination, moisture concerns, major deterioration and the condition of any previous coating.
- A fresh decorative finish for suitable existing concrete
- Custom colour, border and pattern options
- Residential and selected commercial concrete areas
A suitable resurfacing system can create anything from a restrained neutral finish to a highly decorative pattern.
Areas commonly resurfaced
Concrete surfaces around homes and businesses
The system and preparation method should match the location, exposure, expected traffic and condition of the underlying slab.
Paths and Entrances
Create a more consistent appearance from the driveway through to front paths, side access areas and property entrances.
Patios and Entertaining Areas
Update outdoor living areas with a decorative finish that visually connects the patio, landscaping and surrounding architecture.
Pool Surrounds
Refresh suitable poolside concrete using a finish chosen with the area's exposure, cleaning requirements and slip considerations in mind.
Courtyards and Alfresco Areas
Bring worn or plain concrete into line with a renovated outdoor area without automatically replacing the existing slab.
Commercial Concrete
Selected commercial entrances, walkways and concrete areas may be suitable following inspection of traffic, use and slab condition.
Important information about existing cracks
Existing cracks can be prepared or repaired before resurfacing, but the coating does not control movement within the concrete slab. Future slab movement is outside the contractor’s control, so existing cracks may reappear and new cracks may transfer through the finished surface. Concrete resurfacing should not be presented as a structural repair or as a guarantee against future cracking.
The resurfacing process
Preparation comes before colour and pattern
The exact method depends on the existing concrete and the chosen finish, but the work generally follows four stages.
Inspect the Surface
Review the slab, previous coatings, stains, movement, moisture concerns and intended use.
Clean and Prepare
Preparation may include pressure cleaning, degreasing, removing loose material and treating defects where appropriate.
Apply the Finish
Apply the selected decorative coating or spray paving system in the chosen colour, texture, border and pattern.
Seal and Cure
Seal the finished surface as required and allow the appropriate curing time before normal traffic resumes.
Colour and design choices
Match the new finish to the property
The resurfaced area can sit quietly within the landscape or become a more prominent decorative feature.
Choosing the right treatment
Cleaning, resurfacing or replacing the concrete?
The condition of the slab should determine the recommendation.
Cleaning may be enough when…
The concrete is serviceable and the main problem is dirt, mould, organic growth or surface contamination.
- The existing finish still looks acceptable
- No major colour change is required
- Maintenance is the goal
Resurfacing may suit when…
The slab is suitable but the appearance is tired, faded, patchy or no longer matches the property.
- A new colour or pattern is wanted
- The surface can be properly prepared
- Complete demolition is unnecessary
Replacement may be required when…
The concrete has major structural problems, severe movement, extensive deterioration or defects beyond a coating.
- The slab is unstable or displaced
- Movement is ongoing and significant
- A coating would mask a larger issue
Frequently asked questions
Concrete resurfacing questions
Can concrete resurfacing stop cracks from returning?
No. Cracking and movement originate in the underlying slab, and future movement may transfer through the resurfaced finish. Existing crack preparation is not a guarantee against reappearance.
What areas can be resurfaced?
Common areas include suitable driveways, paths, patios, pool surrounds, entertaining areas and selected commercial concrete surfaces.
Is resurfacing cheaper than replacing concrete?
For a suitable slab, resurfacing can often be more economical and less disruptive than demolition and complete replacement. The right option depends on the concrete's condition and stability.
Can the colour and pattern be changed?
Yes. Decorative resurfacing can use a selection of colours, borders and patterns suited to the surrounding home, landscaping or commercial property.
How do I know whether my concrete is suitable?
The surface should be inspected for movement, structural damage, contamination, moisture issues and the condition of any existing coating before a system is recommended.
