FAQs

Concrete resurfacing is the process of preparing an existing concrete surface and applying a new finish or resurfacing system over it. It can refresh worn, stained or dated concrete without necessarily removing and replacing the entire slab.

Concrete resurfacing focuses on renewing the surface and appearance of existing concrete, while concrete restoration generally involves repairing deterioration such as cracks, spalling, damaged edges and worn sections before further finishing where required.

In many cases, yes. If the existing concrete is structurally suitable, resurfacing can be a practical alternative to full replacement. EarthQuake can assess the surface and determine whether resurfacing, restoration or replacement is more appropriate.

Spraycrete is a decorative concrete resurfacing system applied over prepared existing concrete. It can create new colours, textures and patterns and is commonly used for driveways, pathways, patios, pool surrounds and other outdoor areas.

Decorative concrete uses colours, textures, patterns, stencil designs, borders and other finishing techniques to transform plain concrete into a more visually distinctive surface.

Spraycrete is one type of decorative concrete resurfacing. Decorative concrete is the broader category and can include Spraycrete, stencil patterns, textured finishes, colour systems, borders and stone-inspired effects.

Epoxy flooring is a coating system applied over properly prepared concrete to create a durable, seamless and easy-to-maintain surface. It is commonly used in garages, workshops, warehouses, factories, retail spaces and commercial environments.

Concrete grind and seal involves mechanically grinding the existing concrete to expose and refine the surface before applying a protective sealer. The result can range from a subtle natural concrete appearance to a more exposed aggregate architectural finish.

It depends on the project. Epoxy creates a coated finish with options such as solid colours and decorative flakes, while grind and seal retains more of the natural character of the concrete. The right option depends on appearance, use, traffic and the existing slab.

Yes. Driveway resurfacing can refresh faded, stained, patchy or dated concrete and introduce new colours, textures and decorative finishes while retaining the existing driveway where it remains suitable.

Surface preparation is one of the most important parts of a concrete resurfacing or flooring project. The existing concrete may require grinding, cleaning, coating removal, repairs or other preparation to create the right surface for the new system.

Depending on the type and extent of the damage, cracks, spalling, chipped edges and localised defects may be repaired as part of the preparation or concrete restoration process before the final system is applied.

Sometimes. Existing coatings need to be assessed first. Loose, deteriorated or incompatible coatings may need to be removed before a new resurfacing or flooring system can be applied.

The options depend on the system selected but can include solid colours, decorative flakes, stencil patterns, textured finishes, stone-inspired effects, contrasting borders, exposed aggregate finishes and different levels of sheen.

The right finish depends on the condition of the concrete, whether the area is indoors or outdoors, the amount and type of traffic, maintenance requirements and the appearance you want to achieve. EarthQuake can assess these factors and recommend suitable options.

Many resurfacing and flooring systems create a more consistent surface that can be easier to sweep, wash and maintain than worn or porous untreated concrete. Maintenance requirements vary depending on the system and environment.

Project timeframes vary depending on the size of the area, existing concrete condition, preparation required, chosen system and site conditions. EarthQuake can provide a clearer timeframe once the project has been assessed.
