Spray-on is the finish most people picture when they hear resurfacing. A cement-based coat is sprayed over a prepared slab, then textured and sealed. Decograde Concrete Resurfacing applies it in Panania and nearby suburbs.
Published spray-on pricing
Spray-on finishes in Western Sydney are generally $50-$100 per m². That range comes from one published guide, and local quotes differ.

Industry-typical range, not a quote. Your written estimate is the figure that counts.
Colour: one tone or several
One colour is the baseline. Add a second tone, a border or a stencil and the price rises with the hours.

Pattern and stencil work
A stencil means masking every line before spraying and lifting it afterwards. Simple patterns are quick. Dense ones, such as faux tile or slate, take far longer. That time, not the material, is what you pay for.
Edges, steps and fiddly spots
Flat open areas go fast, while edges, steps and tight corners slow the crew down and push the per-metre cost up.
Choosing between plain and patterned? Describe the area and we will talk through both. Call (02) 9090 4131.
Preparation still decides how long it lasts
Spray-on is thin, so it copies what is under it. Cracks, stains and loose patches show through unless they are repaired first. Preparation is the part of the price that protects the rest.

Questions to ask before you say yes
- How many coats, and which sealer?
- What preparation is included?
- How long before the surface takes foot traffic?
- Is the colour you saw a sample or a finished job?
