Clean, prepare, two coats

Driveway sealing in Shellharbour that makes old concrete look new

A faded, patchy driveway doesn't need ripping up. We clean it, prepare it and apply a two-coat colour sealer that brings back an even finish and helps keep stains out. Cleaning and sealing together is from $25 per m².

Why people in Shellharbour seal their driveways

The driveway is the first thing you see from the street, and in a suburb full of newer homes a tired one stands out. In established streets around Barrack Heights, Warilla and Oak Flats, sealing is a cheap way to lift a 20 or 30-year-old driveway without replacing it. In the newer estates, owners often seal coloured concrete before it fades too far, especially if they're thinking of selling.

A good seal also makes the surface easier to keep clean. Oil, leaves and red dirt sit on top instead of soaking in, so a hose and a broom do more of the work.

What's involved

  1. Clean and degreaseA full pressure clean, with degreaser on oil spots.
  2. PrepareThe surface is dried and checked. Slip resistance is assessed for your driveway.
  3. Two coatsColour sealer goes on in two coats for an even, durable finish.
  4. CureKeep cars off for 24 to 48 hours. You'll get aftercare steps.

Is your driveway a good candidate?

  • Concrete that's faded, blotchy or grey but structurally sound
  • Stencilled or coloured concrete where the colour has worn
  • Exposed aggregate that has lost its colour and shine
  • Driveways with old oil stains you'd like to cover and protect

Sealing won't hide major cracks or broken slabs, and we'll tell you honestly if yours is better replaced. If you just want it clean for now, start with driveway cleaning.

Driveway sealing questions

How much does driveway sealing cost in Shellharbour?

A full clean and two-coat colour seal is from $25 per m². The final price depends on the size, the condition of the concrete and how much preparation it needs, and it's fixed in writing before we start.

How long before I can drive on it?

Keep cars off for about 24 to 48 hours so the sealer can cure properly. You'll get aftercare steps for your job.

Will a sealed driveway be slippery?

Slip resistance is assessed for your surface before sealing, and we'll talk you through the finish options when we quote.

Can you seal exposed aggregate and stencilled concrete?

Yes. The finish is chosen to suit the surface, and we'll explain the options for your driveway when we quote.

Does sealing fix cracks?

No. Sealing improves the look and protects the surface, but it doesn't repair cracks or broken concrete. We'll point out any cracks when we quote.
