Concrete Resurfacing Adelaide – Breathe New Life into Worn Concrete Without Full Replacement
Concrete resurfacing offers Adelaide property owners an affordable way to restore damaged or stained surfaces without the cost and disruption of full replacement. At Driveway Doctor, we specialise in renewing driveways, paths, patios, and commercial hardscapes using high-grade coatings and long-lasting finishes.
As South Australia’s first dedicated driveway restoration company, we’re proud to combine decades of practical expertise with environmental and social responsibility. We use advanced industrial equipment, plant a tree for every job, and offer Adelaide’s only resurfacing aftercare service with free touch-ups for up to two years.
Why Concrete Resurfacing Is a Smarter Choice Than Replacement
In many cases, old concrete doesn’t need to be removed and replaced. Resurfacing may provide the same long-term benefit at a fraction of the cost.
Here’s why Adelaide property owners often choose this method:
- Lower cost: Resurfacing typically requires less labour and fewer materials than demolition and re-pouring, making it more budget-friendly.
- Faster turnaround: Most jobs may be completed in a matter of days, with minimal disruption to your home or business.
- Minimal waste: Keeping the existing slab reduces environmental impact by avoiding unnecessary landfill waste.
- Improved appearance: Stains, discolouration, and surface wear can be covered with fresh coatings and modern finishes.
- Functional upgrade: Slip-resistant textures, UV-resistant sealants, and modern colour options may all be added without starting from scratch.
What Surfaces We Resurface in Adelaide Homes and Businesses
We provide concrete resurfacing services across a wide range of residential and commercial environments. Our work covers:
- Residential driveways and carports
- Patios, courtyards, and pool surrounds
- Walkways and garden paths
- Commercial entrances and forecourts
- Schoolyards and pedestrian crossings
- Shopping centre and strata-managed car parks
We also work with exposed aggregate, coloured concrete, and decorative patterned surfaces, and can add colour and depth to existing slabs with our coloured concrete driveways service. Whether it’s a suburban home in Glenelg or a high-traffic shopfront in the CBD, our team adapts to each project’s specific needs.
Our Resurfacing Process and Materials
At Driveway Doctor, we approach each resurfacing job with thorough preparation and high-performance materials. The process begins with industrial hot water pressure cleaning to strip away built-up grime, moss, and residue. We repair any cracks using robust filler materials — our driveway crack repair service helps stabilise the surface before applying the final finish.
Depending on the desired finish, we may apply coloured coatings, slip-resistant textures, or protective sealants. These finishes improve both appearance and functionality, making the surface easier to clean and more resistant to oil stains, UV damage, and weather exposure.
We only use premium products sourced through long-standing supplier partnerships, which means a better finish and longer wear. We only use the best concrete sealer available, designed to resist staining, moisture, and UV damage in Adelaide’s changing weather.
Locally Owned, Environmentally Responsible
We’re not just another concrete company—we’re part of the Adelaide community. That’s why we’ve built sustainability into the way we operate. Driveway Doctor is the first driveway maintenance business in Australia to commit to a one-job-one-tree pledge, partnering with Trees for Life to replant native vegetation across South Australia.
For every resurfacing job completed, we:
- Plant one native tree
- Donate $10 to Camp Quality to support children facing cancer
- Use environmentally safe, biodegradable cleaning agents

TESTIMONIALS
FAQs About Concrete Resurfacing in Adelaide
How long does concrete resurfacing last?
When properly applied and maintained, a resurfaced concrete surface may last 10 to 15 years or more. Lifespan depends on factors such as foot or vehicle traffic, weather exposure, and whether a high-quality sealer is used. Driveway Doctor also offers an aftercare service with free touch-ups to help extend the surface’s life.
Can resurfacing fix cracks and stains in my existing driveway?
Yes—concrete resurfacing may cover most surface-level damage, including light cracking, oil stains, and discolouration. If deeper structural issues exist, we may recommend crack repair or reinforcement before applying any new coatings.
How much does driveway resurfacing cost in Adelaide?
Pricing varies depending on the size, condition, and finish selected. Generally, resurfacing costs significantly less than full removal and replacement. For a clear estimate, we recommend booking an on-site inspection.
Is resurfacing suitable for coloured or decorative concrete?
It is. We can apply new coloured coatings or pattern finishes to rejuvenate faded surfaces while preserving texture. Our coloured concrete driveways option is ideal for those wanting a fresh look without starting over.
How long will the job take to complete?
Most residential resurfacing jobs are completed within 1–2 days, depending on weather conditions and the specific surface preparation requirements. We’ll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
