What is concrete grind and seal?
Concrete resurfacing is the process of restoring an existing concrete surface by repairing, preparing and applying a new finish over the top. It can improve worn, stained, cracked or dated concrete without the need to completely remove and replace the original slab

Enhancing Concrete with
Grind and Seal
Concrete grind and seal can create a range of clean, natural finishes that enhance the existing character of the concrete rather than covering it completely.
By mechanically grinding the surface, EarthQuake can expose more of the concrete’s natural texture and aggregate, remove worn or inconsistent areas and create a more even, refined appearance.

Concrete Grind and Seal Finishes
Concrete grind and seal can be tailored to create different looks depending on how much of the surface is ground back and the type of sealer applied. The process enhances the natural character of the concrete while allowing the final appearance to range from subtle and understated through to a more polished, industrial-style finish.
Finish options can include:
- Matte finish
- Satin finish
- Higher-sheen finish
- Light aggregate exposure
- More exposed aggregate
- Natural concrete appearance
- Refined industrial-style finish
- Custom finish depending on the existing slab

Frequently Asked Questions
About Concrete Grind & Seal
What is the difference between concrete grind and seal and polished concrete?
Concrete grind and seal uses mechanical grinding to improve and expose the concrete surface, followed by the application of a protective topical sealer. Polished concrete generally involves a more intensive multi-stage polishing and densifying process. EarthQuake can help determine which option is more suitable for the intended space.
Can old coatings or paint be removed before the concrete is sealed?
Yes. In many cases, existing paint, coatings, adhesive residue or surface contamination can be removed during the grinding process. The condition of the slab will determine how much preparation is required before sealing.
Can the amount of aggregate showing through the concrete be controlled?
To a degree, yes. The depth of grinding influences how much of the aggregate within the concrete becomes visible. Some floors may have a light exposure, while others can reveal more stone and natural variation.
Will every grind and seal floor look the same?
No. Every concrete slab is different. Variations in aggregate, colour, previous wear, repairs and the age of the slab all influence the final appearance. This natural variation is part of the character of concrete grind and seal.
Can existing stains be completely removed?
Grinding can remove or reduce many surface stains, marks and discolouration, but deeper staining may remain within the concrete. EarthQuake can assess the surface beforehand and explain what result is realistically achievable.
Can concrete grind and seal be done on newly poured concrete?
Yes, once the concrete has cured sufficiently and the slab is suitable for grinding and sealing. The timing will depend on the concrete, site conditions and the finish required.
Does the sealer change the colour of the concrete?
Some sealers can slightly deepen or enrich the natural colour of the concrete, while others provide a more subtle appearance. The type of sealer selected will influence both the final look and level of sheen.
Can a grind and seal floor be resealed later?
Yes. Because the protective coating sits on the surface, it may eventually require resealing depending on wear and usage. Resealing can help restore protection and refresh the appearance of the floor.
Is concrete grind and seal suitable for renovating an existing commercial property?
Yes. It can be a practical option for commercial renovations because it works with the existing concrete slab rather than covering it with an entirely new flooring material. EarthQuake provides concrete grind and seal solutions for commercial properties across Melbourne.
How do I know if my concrete is suitable for grind and seal?
The best way is to have the slab inspected. EarthQuake can assess the condition of the concrete, existing coatings, cracking, staining and previous repairs before recommending whether concrete grind and seal is suitable for the property.
