Concrete Colour Sealing and Resurfacing

There are many methods that you can use for colouring concrete. One thing is key.. Surface prep! Get it wrong and it will be costly.. Guaranteed. Removal of these coatings cost much more than the cost to put it down…

Minimum level of prep we use is by the very best equipment money can buy along with the best prep practice.

Here’s what you’ll need before you get started:

  • Safety Glasses
  • Work Gloves
  • Acid
  • High pressure steam cleaning unit
  • Medium Bristle Broom
  • Thinners
  • Concrete primers
  • Wheelbarrow or Cement Mixer
  • Sealers

Surface Prep

Surface prep requires the concrete surface to be stripped clean! We use High pressure steam and acid, nothing less! If the surface has pre existing sealer or coatings other chemicals will be needed.

Step 2: Mix coatings for application

Obviously depending on the coating type the process differs considerably, there are multiple types and we cant get into them all here.

Final steps:

Depending on the products used in Adelaide, most likely top coat sealers will be needed, each product has a different product that can only be used with each other, incorrect application at any stage of this process will cause the coating to go milky and or delaminate. Removal of the prododucts to start again requires a stripper that cost between $280 – $400 to treat 10sqm.. If not applied correctly the product will delaminate well before its supposed to, see stage one, surface prep…

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Typically, the price will be $50-$60 per square metre for a professional job, however the cost will vary depending on the dimensions of your driveway and surface type and prep needed. Contact our friendly team for your own competitive quote.
  • Considering most professionals charge by square metre, the most important thing to consider is the length and gradient of your driveway. It’s also a good idea to factor in the ease of access, time of year you’ll be painting, what colour scheme you want, and to compare prices so you find the best deal.
  • Before anything, the surface needs to be primed. The best way to do this is by using an acrylic block fill primer to fill all pores and neutralise the high PH levels of the concrete block. Once the primer is dry, using a high quality paint is essential for the longevity of the job.
  • The colour pigments used in coloured concrete are UV stable and fade resistant and designed to last many years, like all things, maintenance coats are required as the years pass to protect the coating membrane and concrete. If the colour begins to look dull, the coating may need to be resealed or cleaned to remove efflorescence on the surface, don't leave it too long before recoating.
  • Coloured concrete sealer is sealer with colour pigments added into it. You can also combine it with aggregates for textured looks. It is perfect if you want to colour dull driveway tones or match your surrounding aesthetic. Colour concrete is versatile, simple to use and economical. Here at the Driveway Doctor we have over 30 colours of concrete paint, ranging from Black, charcoal, dark charcoal grey’s to sandy beige, and deep heritage reds.
  • In this case, your best option would be using a spray on concrete. This is a method of applying a decorative coating on existing concrete. This method can be applied to fresh or old concrete floors and is most often used on outdoor paths, pavements and driveways.
  • You certainly can, however the process involves handling of complicated toxic chemicals and controlling colour elements that can stain your clothes and be dangerous on your skin. You need to make sure you have a suitable working surface and if you’ve never done it before remember to wear your safety gear. However, for the best and safest results, it is recommended utilising the services of a professional. Leave the heavy lifting to us!
  • You can purchase pigments at local hardware stores. Make sure you speak to a professional who knows about concrete colouring as there are a wide array of colouring agents you may need depending on the particular job you want done. Not sure about yours? Give us a call! We’ll be more than happy to advise you.
