A patio is the slab people look at most, because it is where the family sits, eats and entertains. Decograde Concrete Resurfacing resurfaces patios in Canterbury-Bankstown. Here is what drives the price.
What the published figures cover
We found no published price for patio resurfacing by itself. Spray-on is the usual patio finish, and standard spray-on work in Western Sydney is generally $50-$100 per m².

A proxy band, not a quote for your patio. Your written estimate is the figure that counts.
Size, shape and how much is covered
Patios vary from a small landing to a full alfresco room. Larger areas cost more overall and usually less per square metre. The estimate is for the area you point to, so say where the edges are.
Questions about your specific surface or budget? Call (02) 9090 4131 — no obligation.
Where the patio meets the house
The slab edge, the door threshold and the wall base all need masking. Water must still run away from the house afterwards, so levels at the threshold are checked before anything is coated.
Heat, shade and furniture
A sunny patio can get hot underfoot, and light colours help. Furniture legs and pot bases leave marks. Mention how the space is used and we will suggest a colour and finish that suit it.
Not sure which option fits your situation? Call (02) 9090 4131 and talk it through with a contractor.
Older slabs and earlier coatings
Patios poured decades ago may have a worn paint layer, efflorescence or settlement cracks. Old paint has to come off completely. That removal is often the biggest line in the quote.

Resurfacing, tiling over or starting again
| Resurface | Tile over | Re-pour | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What changes | The surface layer | A new finish laid on top | The whole slab |
| Height | Hardly changes | Rises, so doors and steps may need work | Set to suit new levels |
| Best when | The slab is sound but tired | You want a tiled look and the slab is flat | The slab has failed |
Settling the details before you book
Agree the area, the finish and the sealer. Ask how long before furniture can go back, and what happens if a crack reappears. Our patio resurfacing page shows what a visit involves.
