What is single colour concrete resurfacing?

Single colour concrete resurfacing is a spray-applied cement-based coating used to renew existing concrete with a consistent, uniform colour. Unlike stencil, exposed aggregate or patterned finishes, the surface remains simple and understated, making it suitable for residential, commercial and high-traffic areas.

Benefits of a single colour finish

Clean, modern appearance
Creates a consistent finish without patterns or decorative borders.

Wide range of colours
Choose a colour that complements the home, building or surrounding landscape.

Slip-resistant texture
The surface texture can be adjusted to suit driveways, pathways, pool areas and commercial environments.

More affordable than replacement
Resurfacing can improve suitable existing concrete without the demolition, removal and disruption involved in pouring a new slab.

Sealed for protection
The finished surface is sealed to help resist staining, weather exposure and general wear.

Our preparation and application process

This is important because it separates you from cheap operators.

  1. Inspect the existing concrete and identify cracks, movement or damaged areas.
  2. Mechanically prepare and pressure-clean the surface.
  3. Complete suitable repairs before resurfacing begins.
  4. Apply the single colour resurfacing system evenly across the concrete.
  5. Apply protective sealer once the coating has cured sufficiently.

Proper preparation is the most important part of any resurfacing project. We do not simply coat over dirty, loose or poorly prepared concrete.

Is your concrete suitable for resurfacing?

Not every slab should be resurfaced. Concrete with widespread movement, severe structural cracking, major subsidence or extensive contamination may require additional repairs or replacement. Nupave assesses the existing surface and provides an honest recommendation based on its condition.

Frequently asked questions

How long does single colour resurfacing last?

The lifespan depends on the condition of the existing concrete, preparation, traffic, exposure and ongoing maintenance. Correctly prepared and maintained resurfacing can provide many years of service, and Nupave continues to maintain projects completed more than 20 years ago.

Can cracked concrete be resurfaced?

Some cracks can be repaired and incorporated into the resurfacing process. However, resurfacing cannot prevent an actively moving crack from returning. We assess the cause and condition of cracking before recommending the appropriate repair.

Can you resurface painted or sealed concrete?

Often, yes, but the existing coating must be assessed and may need to be mechanically removed before a new resurfacing system is applied.

Does resurfaced concrete require maintenance?

The surface should be cleaned periodically and resealed when required. Resealing helps maintain its appearance and protects the coating from weathering and contamination.

Can I choose any colour?

A broad selection of colours is available. Final colour selection should consider the building, surrounding surfaces, heat exposure, cleaning requirements and expected traffic.
