Concrete Resurfacing FAQs
At Horand Industry, we use the trusted Dulux Avista resurfacing system to restore and refresh concrete driveways, patios, and pathways. Below are answers to the most common questions our clients ask about the process, results, and benefits of concrete resurfacing.
What is concrete resurfacing and how is it different from replacing concrete?
Concrete resurfacing is a cost-effective way to give old, worn, or stained concrete a completely new look without removing it. Using the Dulux Avista resurfacing system, Horand Industry renews existing surfaces with a durable decorative coating, saving you time, cost, and mess compared to full concrete replacement.
Which surfaces can be resurfaced?
Resurfacing is ideal for structurally sound concrete areas such as driveways, patios, pool surrounds, and walkways. As long as the concrete is stable and not crumbling or lifting, we can resurface it for a smooth, modern finish.
Can I choose the colour and finish of my resurfaced concrete?
Yes. The Dulux Avista range offers a wide selection of colours, patterns, and textures, allowing you to completely customise your surface. We’ll help you select the perfect design to complement your home or business.
How do you prepare the surface before resurfacing?
We start by grinding or pressure cleaning the concrete to remove old product, dirt, oil, and debris. Any cracks or imperfections are repaired, and the surface is properly prepared to ensure strong adhesion of the Dulux Avista product. Proper preparation ensures a long-lasting, professional result.
Can I resurface concrete myself, or do I need a professional?
While DIY kits exist, achieving a smooth, even, and long-lasting finish requires skill and experience. Horand Industry’s trained applicators are experts in using the Dulux Avista resurfacing system to deliver professional results that last.
How long does resurfaced concrete last, and what maintenance is required?
When applied and maintained correctly, resurfaced concrete can last for many years. Regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, and periodic resealing will help protect it from wear and UV exposure. We’ll advise you on the best maintenance schedule for your surface.
How much does concrete resurfacing cost?
Pricing depends on surface size, preparation needs, and your chosen finish. Resurfacing is generally far more affordable than full replacement. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your project.
Does resurfacing protect the concrete?
Yes. Concrete Resurfacing not only refreshes the look but also adds a protective layer that resists UV rays, stains, and general wear. With proper sealing, it can significantly extend the life of your concrete.
How do I get started or request a quote?
Simply contact Horand Industry to arrange a free on-site assessment. We’ll inspect your concrete, discuss colour and design options, and provide a detailed quote based on your preferred finish.
How long before I can walk or drive on the surface?
Curing times depend on weather conditions, but as a guide, light foot traffic is fine after 24 hours, and vehicles can return after 3–5 days. We’ll provide exact curing instructions for your project.
Will resurfacing cover cracks or major damage?
Minor cracks and surface wear can be repaired and covered during resurfacing, but the process won’t fix structural issues. If your concrete has major cracks or movement, we’ll assess it first and recommend the right repair solution before resurfacing.
Is resurfacing suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial properties?
Yes. We work across all property types — from home driveways and patios to car parks and commercial spaces. Dulux Avista resurfacing provides a durable, low-maintenance finish suitable for any setting.
What colours and styles are available?
The Dulux Avista system offers a wide variety of colours, textures, and decorative finishes. From subtle natural tones to bold, modern designs, we can help you choose a look that complements your space perfectly.
Is the resurfaced surface slip-resistant?
For areas like pool surrounds and outdoor paths, we suggest including a non-slip additive or textured finishes to improve grip and safety in wet conditions.
Can resurfacing be done in any weather?
Weather affects application and curing times. We avoid resurfacing in extreme heat, rain, or humidity to ensure the coating cures properly. Our team schedules projects during ideal conditions for the best results.
