Spray-On Concrete Resurfacing in Somers
We resurface driveways, paths, patios and pool surrounds across Somers — turning grey, flaking concrete into a clean, patterned finish that lifts the whole property. We’re a local team — we assess whether your slab is a good candidate for an overlay before we quote, so you don’t pay for a resurface that won’t hold. Every suburb’s concrete tells a different story, so below is what shapes how we resurface in Somers.
Somers and its surrounds
As a small coastal township on Western Port Bay ~72km south-east of Melbourne CBD on the Mornington Peninsula, Somers is an area we cover regularly. We know Somers well — from Western Port Bay views, Somers Camp (Youth Camp on Western Port) and HMAS Cerberus naval base (adjacent).
Homes across Somers and Balnarring and Merricks Beach share a common problem: ageing concrete that looks worn and dated. Our concrete resurfacing service transforms these surfaces without the disruption of a full replacement. We apply a new decorative coating over your existing slab — covering cracks, stains, and faded patches with a finish that looks and performs like new concrete.
What Resurfacing Gives You
For a fraction of the cost of replacement, you get a surface that looks and feels completely new. Resurfacing is fast — usually one to two days — and you can use the area again within 48 hours. The coatings we use are engineered for Australian conditions: UV-resistant, weatherproof, and non-slip. We back every job with a workmanship guarantee, so you can be confident the result will last.
There is no heavy machinery needed, no demolition waste, and no extended wait for concrete to cure. Your existing slab stays in place, and the new surface goes on top.
Our most popular finishes include imitation exposed aggregate, cut stone patterns, and single colour blanket coats. If you prefer a patterned look, have a look at our stencil concrete or slate impression options.
How long does a resurfaced driveway last?
With proper preparation and quality materials, you can expect 10 to 15 years of solid performance. Regular cleaning and periodic resealing every few years helps extend that further.
Can cracked concrete be resurfaced?
In most cases, yes. Hairline and surface cracks are repaired as part of our preparation process. If there is major structural damage or significant slab movement, we will let you know upfront whether resurfacing is the right approach or if repairs are needed first.
Our team also works across Balnarring and Merricks Beach and the surrounding area. Whether it is a driveway, patio, or pool surround, the same resurfacing options are available throughout this part of Melbourne.

Concrete Resurfacing in Somers — FAQs
Do you offer concrete resurfacing in Somers?
Yes. Nupave provides concrete resurfacing across Somers and the surrounding Mornington Peninsula area, covering driveways, patios, pool surrounds and pathways. Get in touch for a local assessment and quote.
Is concrete resurfacing suitable for coastal Somers properties?
Yes, with the right finish and maintenance. Coastal properties face salt spray that degrades sealers faster, so coastal resurfacing in Somers benefits from durable finishes and more frequent resealing, often every 2-3 years, to maintain protection and appearance.
Do different councils have different requirements for concrete work?
Council requirements can vary for things like crossovers, permits and concrete strengths. For decorative resurfacing over an existing sound slab the requirements are usually minimal, but it's worth checking with your local council for any specific rules in your area.
How experienced is Nupave with concrete resurfacing?
Nupave has been resurfacing concrete across Melbourne for three decades, with decorative installations still performing well more than 20 years on. That experience in preparation and product selection is what separates a long-lasting finish from one that fails early.
Does the soil type in Somers affect concrete resurfacing?
It can. Peninsula ground varies sharply by pocket — deep sandy and lime-rich (calcareous) soils along the coast, reactive clay on the ridge suburbs, and red volcanic soil up around the hill. Resurfacing refreshes a sound slab, but the right preparation and sealing approach has to suit that ground – so the finish lasts rather than lifting, cracking or wearing early. In practice, coastal UV and salt exposure here are higher than inland metro, so the sealing system has to be built to hold up against sun and salt rather than just looking good on day one.
