About concrete repairs and resurfacing
Resurfacing puts a new decorative layer over sound but tired concrete, and crack repairs address movement before it spreads, which is cheaper than replacing a whole slab or driveway. Not all concrete is a candidate, so an honest concreter will tell you when replacement is the better spend.
Getting quotes in Fernside
Before booking a concreter for concrete repairs and resurfacing, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for concrete repairs and resurfacing is flexible, include that in the Fernside request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
How much does a concrete driveway cost?+
Plain concrete driveways commonly run $65 to $90 per square metre, with exposed aggregate and decorative finishes closer to $100 to $150, so a standard driveway often lands between $4,000 and $12,000. Site access, excavation and reinforcement drive the price. Get the thickness and steel specified in the quote.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
