Concrete resurfacing applies a thin, polymer-modified cement layer over your existing slab to cover cracks, spalling and discolouration, leaving a fresh, uniform finish. The overlay typically sits between 1.6mm and 13mm thick, bonded to the concrete underneath rather than poured from scratch.
For a slab that is structurally sound but cosmetically tired, resurfacing is the cost-effective alternative to demolition and replacement. You keep the existing foundation and avoid the expense, mess and downtime of a full re-pour.
Resurfacing also covers the related work that goes with it: surface grinding, crack and spall repair, and sealing. FCT handles these as part of a single scope, so the surface is properly prepared, restored and protected in one job rather than several.
A resurfacing overlay is only as good as the surface beneath it. When old concrete isn’t thoroughly cleaned and profiled first, the new layer fails to bond and lifts within months. Preparation is crucial to ensure the results last.
We don’t just come in for the resurfacing and sealing work at the end of a job; we handle the entire restoration process. From the surface preparation and cleaning – with high pressure cleaning, sandblasting, and paint stripping – to crack repair, resurfacer application, and finishing & sealing.
We remove all oil, grease, paint and debris, then profile the concrete so the overlay has something to grip. This stage uses high pressure cleaning and, where needed, grinding or blasting.
Existing cracks, pits and spalled sections are repaired so they don’t telegraph through the new surface.
The polymer-modified resurfacer is mixed and spread evenly across the damp, prepared slab, filling imperfections and creating a smooth, consistent finish.
Once the overlay has cured, we apply a concrete sealer to protect against moisture, stains and wear. Surfaces are kept clear of foot traffic for around six hours and vehicles for 24.
Concrete Resurfacing for All Property Types
A worn driveway and a warehouse floor call for different finishes, different durability and different scheduling. FCT resurfaces concrete across all three settings.
For homeowners, resurfacing turns aging concrete back into a surface you’re happy to look at. We resurface driveways, patios, alfresco areas, garage floors and pool surrounds, covering crazing, bore stains and surface wear that cleaning alone can’t fix. Where the work sits around a pool, our pool restoration service often forms part of the same job. Where the slab is sound, we can also hone or expose the aggregate for a decorative finish with no top-coating required.
Retail floors, car parks, walkways, entrances and hospitality spaces take constant foot traffic, and a tired surface reflects on the business. FCT resurfaces commercial concrete with minimal disruption, working around trading hours and access requirements so your site stays operational. The finish lifts the presentation while standing up to daily wear.
Warehouse slabs, factory floors, loading bays and plant rooms need a surface that handles forklift loads, heavy traffic and impact. For industrial sites, the focus is on heavy-duty preparation, structural crack and spall repair, and durable, trafficable finishes rather than decorative overlays. FCT prepares and restores industrial concrete to keep floors safe, level and serviceable.
Honed and Exposed Aggregate Finishes
Resurfacing overlays aren’t the only way to refresh concrete. Where your existing slab is structurally sound and has good-quality aggregate, we can grind it back to a honed or exposed aggregate finish instead of laying an overlay over the top.
A honed finish grinds the surface smooth for a polished, even look, while an exposed aggregate finish cuts back the top layer to reveal the decorative stone beneath. Both are worked into the slab you already have, so there’s no overlay and no top-coating required, and nothing that can later peel or delaminate.
It suits sound slabs with quality aggregate where you want a durable, low-maintenance decorative finish, including driveways, patios, alfresco areas, garage floors and commercial floors.
Not sure whether your concrete needs resurfacing or replacing These are the common signs that resurfacing is the right call:
If the slab itself is stable and the damage is on the surface, resurfacing restores it without the cost of replacement. Where there’s deeper structural movement, then that will require consideration of replacement.
FCT Surface Cleaning has been a WA family-owned and operated business since 1994. Over 30 years, we’ve built our reputation on surface preparation and restoration done properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete resurfacing in Perth typically ranges from $30 to $120 per square metre, depending on the finish, the area size, and the condition of the existing slab. Decorative finishes sit at the higher end. The biggest variable is surface preparation, so we assess every job and give you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins.
In most cases, yes. Resurfacing reuses your existing slab, so you avoid the cost of demolition, removal and a full re-pour. As long as the concrete is structurally sound, resurfacing delivers a fresh surface for a fraction of the price of replacement.
With proper preparation and sealing, a quality resurfaced surface lasts many years. Longevity depends on the condition of the slab underneath, the finish chosen and how the surface is used. Sealing protects against moisture and stains and extends the life of the overlay.
The surface should be kept clear of foot traffic for around six hours and vehicles for 24 hours after the overlay is applied. We confirm exact timeframes for your job at completion, as curing can vary with weather and conditions.
Surface cracks, crazing and spalling are exactly what resurfacing is designed to cover, and we repair them as part of the process. Where cracks are caused by deeper structural movement, we’ll assess the slab first and advise honestly on whether resurfacing or another approach is appropriate.
Yes. Where your slab is structurally sound and has good-quality aggregate, we can grind the existing concrete to create a honed, smooth, polished finish or an exposed aggregate finish that reveals the decorative stone beneath. Because the finish is ground into the slab itself, there’s no overlay and no top-coating required, so there’s nothing to peel or delaminate over time. It’s a durable, low-maintenance option that suits driveways, patios, alfresco areas and floors.
