Tired of your dull, cracked driveway? Concrete resurfacing, also known as spray-on concrete, is a powerful way to restore, protect, and completely refresh your existing concrete surfaces. Whether you're dealing with worn, cracked or outdated concrete, resurfacing delivers a sleek, long-lasting finish without the cost and disruption of full concrete replacement. This process transforms driveways, patios, pool surrounds and pathways with a durable and decorative coating built to last in Sydney’s demanding conditions.
At Sydney Wide Spray Pave, we specialise in professional concrete and driveway resurfacing across Sydney. Using high-quality resurfacing coatings, we bond directly to the prepared concrete surface, ensuring a seamless, high-performance finish that not only enhances the look of your property but also boosts its value. From bold stencil patterns and fleck finishes to subtle single-tone textures, we customise every project to suit your vision and home.
Unlike quick cover-up jobs, our method begins with a dust-free mechanical grind to remove 1–3mm from the surface. This exposes raw concrete, removing all existing coatings, sealers and contaminants. Skipping this step can lead to delamination or premature failure.
We’ve long understood the importance of mechanical grinding and were the earliest to incorporate it as a crucial step for proper adhesion and long-term durability, well before it became widely practiced. Over time, our approach set the benchmark many others in the industry began to follow. That commitment to doing things properly remains at the core of our resurfacing process today.
Our early commitment to thorough preparation is one of the reasons Sydney Wide Spray Pave stands out for long-lasting, high-performance results.
Mechanical Grinding – We mechanically grind 1–3mm from the concrete surface to remove contaminants and ensure strong adhesion for all coatings
Crack Fillings – Structural cracks are cut, filled, and blended as seamlessly as possible (please note: crack fillings are not covered under warranty due to natural concrete movement)
High-Pressure Cleaning – The entire surface is pressure-washed to eliminate dust, dirt, and debris, ensuring a clean canvas for resurfacing
Patching & Repairs – We fill all holes and repair significant surface damage to create an even foundation
Priming – A high-performance polymer-modified primer is applied to promote bond strength between the surface and the base coat
Base Coat Application – One or more trowel-applied base coats are added to smooth the surface and fill minor imperfections
Masking – All adjacent areas, such as walls and garage edges, are carefully masked to prevent overspray
Textured Spray Coats – Two spray-on coats of our primary texture are applied for strength, durability, and slip resistance
Fleck Coats – Two to four fleck coats are sprayed on, adding visual depth and custom styling to the surface
Sealing – Finally, two coats of high-grade xylene-based sealer are applied for long-lasting protection, enhanced colour, and resistance to weather and general surface wear
*These are the core stages of the process. Several additional steps are carried out in between, and depending on site conditions, some may be modified, added or omitted to suit the specific needs of each surface.
We offer a refined selection of resurfacing finishes to complement both modern and traditional spaces. Our concrete resurfacing systems include speckled fleck finishes, single-tone textured coatings and custom hand-taped designs, all crafted to enhance the appearance and durability of your existing surfaces.
For garages, we offer epoxy flake flooring, a highly durable, non-porous and visually appealing solution that's easy to keep clean and built to handle high-traffic environments. And for those seeking a more premium finish, our exclusive Silexstone resurfacing delivers a high-end, stone-like texture that performs beautifully on driveways, patios and exposed outdoor areas.
Each option is tailored for longevity, visual impact and practical performance. Visit our Designs & Colours page to explore what’s possible.
Driveways endure heavy traffic and harsh weather. Our driveway resurfacing service provides a tough, slip-resistant finish that elevates curb appeal without the mess and expense of full demolition. The system works just as effectively on old or new concrete driveways and includes anti-slip options perfect for Sydney’s slopes and wet areas.
Have a pebblecrete driveway or patio that's outdated, rough or hard to maintain? You don’t need to rip it out — concrete resurfacing can give it a completely fresh finish.
Old pebblecrete and exposed aggregate can look tired and outdated, but they make an excellent base for concrete resurfacing. The slurry-based concrete resurfacing compound adheres beautifully to the uneven texture, forming a new design over the top. In most cases, two trowel coats are applied to level the surface, regardless of pebble size or wear. We can also adjust the liquid ratio or apply an additional coat if needed. Once smooth, we apply the spray texture and any optional fleck coats to complete the transformation. In rare cases where the pebbles remain too high even after two base coats, we may lightly grind the surface again to even it out before applying a final coat.
Summary:
• Spray-on concrete transforms old pebblecrete without removal
• Pebblecrete is a strong base due to its natural texture
• Two or more trowel coats are required for proper coverage
• Custom textures and colours create a brand-new look
• In some cases, a light grind may be needed after base coats to level high pebbles

Want to change the look of your stencilled concrete without replacing it? Whether it's faded, dated or just not your style anymore, we can help. Existing stencilled concrete doesn’t have to be removed or replaced to achieve a modern, updated finish. At Sydney Wide Spray Pave, we can resurface over most stencil patterns with a new texture, colour and design, leaving no trace of the old look behind.
The process typically involves grinding the surface, removing sealers and applying multiple coats of our resurfacing compound to level and blend the existing pattern. Once prepped, we apply your chosen texture and finish, from clean single-tone coatings to flecked designs that deliver both style and durability. This is an ideal way to refresh aged, outdated or fading stencilled concrete without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.
In the case where the existing surface has no remaining sealer, there is the option of spraying directly over the original stencil pattern without trowelling. This preserves the existing design while giving it a clean, uniform colour. It's a more cost-effective solution, and you can still add fleck for added character and contrast, making it a great option when the original pattern is still in good shape and you’d like to keep it visible.
Summary:
• Stencilled concrete can be resurfaced with a completely new look
• Grinding and trowel coats are used to cover the original pattern
• Choose from seamless, flecked or textured finishes
• A fast and practical way to update without removing the slab
Stamped concrete can absolutely be resurfaced, but it requires a different approach than standard concrete due to its deep, textured patterns. These decorative impressions can make grinding difficult, especially if a thick sealer is still present. In such cases, we organise soda or sandblasting for you by engaging a sandblasting company to remove the sealer without damaging the surface profile.
If the stamped concrete is shallow and relatively level, we may be able to apply a trowel coat to flatten and prepare the surface. However, in most cases, we spray directly over the existing stamped pattern. This allows the texture to remain visible while giving the surface a fresh new look with a consistent colour and optional fleck finish.
While trowelling over deep stamps may seem like a way to flatten the surface, it can cause cracking due to the uneven substrate and the thickness required to level it out. In these cases, maintaining the stamped texture while refreshing the finish is a safer and more durable option.
While it’s not always possible to completely hide the stamped design, resurfacing still dramatically refreshes the surface and offers better protection, slip resistance and curb appeal.
Summary:
• Stamped concrete can be resurfaced with the right preparation
• Trowel coats are optional depending on stamp depth
• Flecked or textured finishes enhance durability and appearance
• Sealer may need to be removed via soda or sandblasting when grinding isn’t suitable
• Trowelling over deep stamps may cause cracking
• Ideal finish: fleck or textured spray
