Concrete Sealing and Resurfacing

Worn, faded, or cracked concrete doesn’t have to be replaced. Resurfacing is a cost-effective alternative that restores the appearance and protective qualities of the surface at a fraction of the cost of removal and relaying — and in many cases the result looks better than the original.

Whether the concrete is simply faded and in need of a refresh, or showing surface wear, cracking, and deterioration that needs a heavier resurfacing solution, there are products suited to both situations.

The key is correct surface preparation — a resurfacing coating applied over a contaminated or poorly prepared surface will fail prematurely regardless of the product used.

The right product depends on the condition of the existing surface and the outcome you’re looking for.

Tinted sealers
For concrete that is structurally sound but faded, stained, or simply in need of a visual update, a tinted sealer provides a fresh, consistent colour across the surface while also protecting it from future staining and moisture penetration. Tinted sealers can be mixed to a wide range of colours and can include a non-slip additive where surface grip is required — useful on driveways, ramps, pool surrounds, and entry areas.

Heavy-duty resurfacing products
For concrete with significant surface wear, shallow cracking, or surface damage, heavier resurfacing compounds build up a new surface layer over the existing concrete. These products self-level to create a smooth, consistent finish and are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. The result is effectively a new surface — without the cost and disruption of removing and relaying the slab.

Avista Concrete Resurfacing
One of the products we regularly use is the Avista Concrete Resurfacing range from Dulux — a proven, flexible system well suited to driveways, pathways, and outdoor concrete areas. The Avista range offers a variety of products matched to different surface conditions, along with a wide selection of colours and patterns for customised finishes.

No resurfacing product will perform well on a surface that hasn’t been properly cleaned and prepared. Contamination — oil, grease, efflorescence, mould, or existing sealer residue — left in the surface pores compromises adhesion and leads to premature coating failure.

Our team handles the full preparation process: professional cleaning to remove all surface contamination, crack repair and surface levelling where required, and assessment of surface moisture and condition before any coating is applied. The resurfacing work begins only when the surface is properly ready.

• Residential driveways and paths
• Garage and car pad floors
• Commercial car parks and entry areas
• Pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining areas
• Warehouse and factory floors — lighter surface wear
• Footpaths and pedestrian areas

Concrete removal and replacement is disruptive, time-consuming, and significantly more expensive than resurfacing. For surfaces that are structurally sound but cosmetically worn, resurfacing delivers a comparable result — a surface that looks new, is protected against future staining and moisture damage, and performs well for years — at a fraction of the cost.

For property managers dealing with ageing car park surfaces, worn entry areas, or faded commercial concrete, resurfacing is often the most practical and cost-effective solution available.
