What Is Spray On Concrete?
Spray on concrete – also referred to as spraycrete, concrete resurfacing, or decorative spray concrete – is a cement-based coating that is applied directly over your existing concrete surface using professional spray equipment. Rather than removing your old slab, the spray-on compound bonds tightly to it, creating a fresh, durable new layer that can be textured, coloured, and sealed to suit any property style.
It is different to standard spray on paving in one important way: spray on concrete is cement-based, making it stronger and more suitable for heavier-duty applications including commercial areas, garage floors, internal concrete floors, and surfaces that carry significant vehicle or foot traffic. It also offers greater scope for custom stencil patterns, broom finishes, exposed looks, and smooth decorative styles.
Spray on concrete works over:
- Existing concrete slabs – driveways, paths, patios, and garage floors
- Asphalt surfaces – with appropriate preparation and priming
- Indoor concrete floors – laundries, workshops, alfresco transitions
- Commercial and light industrial floors – warehouses, forecourts, retail entries
- Pool surrounds – with slip-resistant textured finishes
Why Perth Homeowners Choose Spray On Concrete
Perth’s climate puts outdoor surfaces through their paces. Intense UV, scorching summer heat, and occasional heavy winter rain all accelerate the wear and deterioration of concrete. Spray on concrete is engineered to handle these conditions – and in Perth, it offers an especially compelling case over full concrete replacement.
Here’s why Perth property owners keep choosing spray on concrete resurfacing:
| Benefit | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Significant cost saving | Resurfacing costs roughly half the price of full concrete demolition and replacement |
| No demolition required | Your existing slab stays - no skips, no jackhammers, no weeks of disruption |
| Fast turnaround | Most jobs completed in 2–4 days, with surfaces ready for use within 24–48 hours |
| Extends concrete life 10–15+ years | A professionally applied and sealed surface dramatically extends the life of your slab |
| Complies with AS 4586 slip standards | Our coatings meet Australian slip resistance standards for driveways, pools and public areas |
| Eco-friendly - less landfill waste | Resurfacing avoids the concrete waste and carbon cost of full slab replacement |
| Customisable colours & textures | Choose from smooth, broom finish, stencil patterns, or an exposed aggregate look |
Our Spray On Concrete Process
Every Repave AU spray on concrete job follows the same professional process - refined over 20 years of Perth resurfacing work. No shortcuts, no half-measures. Here's exactly what happens when you book with us.
Surface Inspection & Assessment
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing slab. We check for structural cracks, delamination, oil contamination, or previous coatings that need to be removed. This step determines exactly how much preparation your surface needs before we can begin.
Surface Preparation
Proper preparation is the most critical factor in a long-lasting result. Depending on your surface, we may high-pressure wash, grind, or acid etch to open up the concrete and ensure the coating will bond correctly. Any previous paint or epoxy is stripped away, and all contamination is removed.
Crack Repair & Patching
Existing cracks and surface defects are repaired using flexible or rigid fillers depending on the nature and movement of the crack. This step ensures the finished surface looks seamless and that underlying damage doesn't telegraph through the new coating.
Priming
A professional bonding primer is applied across the prepared surface. Primer is critical for adhesion - particularly for spray on concrete, where the coating must bond firmly to support vehicle loads and heavy foot traffic.
Spray Application
The cement-based compound is applied evenly using professional spray equipment by our trained team. Consistent thickness and full edge coverage are essential at this stage - our applicators have the experience to deliver both on every job.
Sealing
A high-quality UV-stable sealer is applied to complete the job. The sealer locks in colour, resists staining and chemical exposure, and protects the surface against Perth's UV intensity and seasonal weather. A good seal is what separates a surface that lasts 10+ years from one that fades in 3.
