Start with the substrate
Is exposed aggregate resurfacing suitable?
Exposed Aggregate Resurfacing is a finish and preparation decision, not just a colour choice. The existing concrete needs to be assessed for soundness, cracking, drainage, contamination, access and intended use before a system is selected.
For Panania properties, the first conversation is most useful when it covers the surface area, access conditions, current finish, problem spots and the result you want. A contractor can then decide whether resurfacing is appropriate, what preparation is required and whether replacement should be considered.
Cost per square metre
Cost is influenced by area, repairs, cleaning, profiling, materials, finish complexity, edges, access and sealing. A tailored quote is more useful than treating an online benchmark as a promise.
How preparation affects aggregate exposure
Preparation controls how well a new finish bonds and how consistently it presents. Typical checks include removing contaminants, identifying unsound areas, addressing repairable defects, confirming falls and drainage, and selecting a compatible overlay or coating system. Product technical data should be followed for mixing, application, curing and sealing.
Durability and maintenance
Durability depends on the substrate, exposure, traffic or underfoot use, moisture, maintenance and the selected material system. Avoiding unsupported guarantees means assessing the surface and explaining the maintenance requirements before work begins.
Council crossover considerations
Where external driveway work affects a public footway or road reserve, council approval may be relevant. Canterbury-Bankstown Council’s vehicular footway crossing guidance should be checked for the specific site and scope; an approval outcome is not promised by this page.
Diagnostic methodology
How We Diagnose Exposed Aggregate Resurfacing Issues
Assess slab soundness and edge conditions, select aggregate character and exposure depth, then confirm profile, curing, sealing and maintenance requirements.
The diagnostic sequence is technical rather than transaction-specific: inspect the substrate, isolate preparation constraints, match materials to the use case, and confirm curing and sealing requirements against the selected product information.
- Review soundness, cracking, drainage and contamination.
- Confirm preparation profile, finish, material compatibility and application conditions.
- Document maintenance and any limits that make replacement safer.
When replacement is safer
Replacement may be safer where the existing slab has structural movement, severe failure, drainage problems or conditions that cannot be repaired within the limits of an overlay. The decision should be based on a site assessment rather than a generic rule.
Material selection should be based on the existing slab, exposure, desired finish and product technical data. Applicable Australian Standards and any site-specific slip, drainage or construction requirements should be confirmed with the responsible contractor and relevant authority rather than assumed from a generic web page.
Before signing off a finish, ask what preparation is included, how edges and transitions will be handled, what curing period applies, how the surface should be cleaned, and when resealing may be considered. These details help compare like-for-like scopes.

Questions before you choose a finish
Frequently asked questions
What preparation is needed before exposed aggregate resurfacing?
Preparation usually starts with checking the existing concrete for soundness, cracks, drainage and contamination before cleaning, profiling and selecting a compatible finish system. The exact preparation for exposed aggregate resurfacing depends on the substrate and intended use.
How much does exposed aggregate resurfacing cost?
The cost of exposed aggregate resurfacing varies with the existing surface, preparation, finish, access and area. A site-specific assessment is needed rather than relying on a generic price. See the Exposed Aggregate Resurfacing Cost Guide for the main cost factors.
How should exposed aggregate resurfacing be maintained?
Service life for exposed aggregate resurfacing depends on substrate condition, preparation, exposure, use and maintenance. No fixed lifespan should be promised before the slab and finish system are assessed; follow the product maintenance guidance supplied for the selected system.
