  3. Repair cracks and patch holes
  4. Spray or trowel the polymer-cement overlay, often with stencilled patterns
  5. Seal

Before you hire

  • Ask what happens to existing cracks – moving cracks will come back through the overlay
  • Ask how often the sealer must be redone
  • Get the warranty in writing
  • If the slab has sunk or broken, compare with removal and replacement

Standards and approvals

Resurfacing doesn't usually need approval. Concreting for homes is licensed building work in most states. In NSW a contractor licence from NSW Fair Trading is needed for residential work over $5,000 (labour and materials, incl. GST); in Queensland a QBCC licence is needed for work over $3,300; in Victoria, domestic building work over $10,000 must be done by a registered builder (Building and Plumbing Commission). Check the licence number on the regulator's public register before paying a deposit.
