Cracks in your driveway can quickly turn from a minor cosmetic issue into a larger structural problem if left untreated. That’s why our team at Driveway Doctor provides trusted driveway crack repair services across Adelaide and surrounding South Australian regions.

With certified technicians, environmentally responsible practices, and a strong reputation for quality, we repair cracks in concrete and paved driveways using advanced materials and precision techniques.

What is Crack Repair?

Crack repair is the process of restoring driveways that have been damaged and cracked. It is done by using a robust crack filling material that is then coated with protective sealant. This process is suitable for any driveway that has cracked due to extreme weather, use over time or by accident. Crack repair is a cost-effective method of renewing your existing driveway rather than digging it up and installing a new one. It can also add value to your home by increasing the safety of your driveway and the visual appeal of your front yard space.

Crack repair should be done as soon as any cracks of any size are noticed, as if your driveway is cracked, it is no longer a safe surface. Both concrete and paved driveways can be repaired. Additionally, crack repair is a great opportunity to upgrade the quality of your driveway, from a simple reseal and crack repair, to clear coat protectant, UV sealant, textured high-grip coating and more. There are a range of options for most types of driveway.

Driveway resurfacing requires specialised equipment and training that most people don’t have. This is where The Driveway Doctor can come to the rescue. After resurfacing with our specialised equipment, your property will look fresh and full of life again, without the mess and inconvenience of doing it yourself. Best of all, our driveway resurfacing process is clean and efficient and will not harm the environment or pollute our waterways.

The Driveway Doctor is your first choice for driveway resurfacing in Adelaide. We are South Australian owned and operated, and our qualified and experienced staff have all the skills to provide you with the best service available. What’s more is we donate $10 from every cleaning job to a charity of your choice or to one of our panel of selected quality charities.

What Causes Driveway Cracks in South Australia?

Driveway cracking is often the result of environmental and structural stresses that build over time. In Adelaide, the most common causes include:

Ground movement and soil shift, especially during dry seasons.
Tree root intrusion near driveways and garden edges.
Heavy vehicle traffic creating pressure on weak points.
Poor drainage causing moisture to pool under the slab.
Lack of sealing, which allows water and contaminants to weaken the concrete.

Understanding the cause is critical to delivering a repair that not only fixes the issue but also prevents it from recurring.

Signs It’s Time to Book a Crack Repair Service

Not all driveway damage is immediately obvious. Here are some signs that your driveway may require professional crack repair:

Cracks are starting to widen or run across the surface.
Uneven sections are appearing, creating trip hazards.
Water is pooling in the cracks or being absorbed into the slab.
Edges of the crack are starting to lift or crumble.
You can see multiple points of failure or surface stress.

If any of these apply, prompt repair may save you from more costly resurfacing or structural work down the track.

DIY vs Professional Crack Repair – What’s the Difference?

While DIY crack repair kits are available at hardware stores, they rarely provide the same long-term results as professional work. Our team uses industrial-grade crack fillers, epoxy compounds, and sealers that outperform retail products in both flexibility and durability.

Professionals also understand how to prepare the surface properly, removing contaminants, dust, or moisture that could otherwise cause the repair to fail. Our team holds full OHS accreditations and White Cards, so you can be confident every repair is carried out to a high professional standard. DIY work may seem cheaper at first, but poor adhesion or incorrect material use may result in premature cracking or the need for full resurfacing later.

What to Expect After Crack Repair

Costs vary depending on the size of the cracks, surface condition, and whether sealing or resurfacing is needed after the repair. As a rough guide:

Minor surface crack repair: from $200.
Full driveway crack sealing with prep: $300–$600.
Large-scale repair with optional sealing or coating: quoted per m².

How Much Does Driveway Crack Repair Cost?

Once repaired, cracks may be nearly invisible depending on the treatment used. Larger cracks may still leave a faint outline, but the structural integrity will be restored. For a seamless finish, many clients opt to follow up repairs with resurfacing or a sealing application.

We typically recommend finishing the job with a high-quality sealer to protect the area against further moisture, contaminants, and UV damage. You can learn more about long-term protection options on our best concrete sealer page.

In some cases, your technician may recommend a full surface refresh through concrete resurfacing Adelaide if there are multiple large cracks or significant wear across the driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can crack repair stop water from getting under the slab?

Yes. Our crack fillers and sealants are designed to prevent water from seeping into the base layers of your driveway, which helps preserve the surface’s structural integrity.

Will the cracks still be visible after repair?

Hairline cracks may disappear entirely. Wider cracks may still show a fine line, but we do our best to blend the repair for a uniform look. For a completely refreshed finish, resurfacing may be recommended.

How soon can I use the driveway after crack repair?

Depending on the materials used, most driveways can be walked on after 24 hours and driven on after 48–72 hours. Your technician will provide care instructions after the job is completed.
