Our “Wizcrete” concrete coating is a cement based polymer enhanced coating that has been specially designed and formulated to be applied to the surface of existing concrete or pebblecrete. The concrete is a strong durable spray-on product that can simulate up to 35 exciting patterns such as the traditional Cobblestone and Terracotta Tile.
Our coatings have a myriad of applications such as driveways, terraces, carports, pathways, entranceways, entertainment areas, pool surrounds etc. Custom designed logos and motifs can also be created. For best results, the existing concrete surface must be of sound or solid condition.
Our “Wizcrete Concrete Solutions” coating has been independently tested by the CSIRO. The results indicate that if the spray on coating is applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, a service life in excess of 15 years may be expected.
“Wizcrete Concrete Solutions” offers a 5 year warranty on the product when used in domestic situations against fading and peeling subject to the recommended resealing process.
The spray on concrete solution applied onto old concrete and is between 3mm to 4mm so it won’t impede doorways.
“Wizcrete” has a selection of over 28 standard colours to choose when combined in a textured coat this will provide a wide variety of colour options.
An average job will take 2 to 4 days. Larger more complex jobs may take longer.

Yes, by scarifying or shot blasting the surface we can remove the paint to achieve an adequate bond.
Yes. Usually, normal washing with a hose is all that is needed. Mould, mildew, motor oil, etc. can be sprayed off with a garden hose.
Generally, drainage can be improved. The degree of success is contingent upon the pitch of the concrete adjacent to the low spot. Your “Wizcrete” authorised representative will be able to advise you of the possible outcomes once they’ve seen your place.
Cracks are ground out with a grinder to produce a “V”. A two-part epoxy is introduced to re-bond the crack.
Though everything possible is done to treat cracks and eliminate them, external conditions may cause them to reoccur. Proper placement of tension cuts greatly reduces the chance of the crack returning.
Yes, it can be applied to concrete steps including risers and treads.
Yes, but careful inspection is required to ensure that the surface is sound. If the pebblecrete is sound the “Wizcrete Concrete Solution” can be applied directly after normal preparation. For glazed tiles grinding is normally required prior to application to ensure that a correct bond is achieved.
Just $60/m2 plus GST. It means the average 70/m2 driveway cost will start at around $3,780 plus GST depending on the condition and geography of your driveway. Compare that to the average $13,000 plus cost of ripping up and replacing your driveway and you’ll see it’s a very economical option.
Small jobs are no problem however, there is a minimum charge of $2,750 for small jobs.
Yes, the cracks can be repaired. However, it can’t be guaranteed that the cracks won’t return. If the cracking is severe then that section of concrete will need to be removed and a new section laid prior to resurfacing.
The surface will need grinding so that only clean concrete is left. It will cost more if the surface needs grinding to remove old sealer or concrete paint.
It certainly can be applied as a non-slip coating. It’s ideal for decorative resurfacing around slippery areas such as swimming pools, wheelchair ramps, or anywhere where there is a risk of slipping on concrete.
Your Wizcrete concrete coating should be resealed every 24-36 months with an approved high-quality sealer. The cost for this service is around $650 for the average driveway.
Your “WizCrete Concrete Solutions Resurfacing” will be completed to your selected coloured concrete and design choices within the time limits we’ve agreed upon (except in the case of bad weather) or we will re-surface it until you’re happy with the results.
In the unlikely event that “WizCrete Concrete Solutions” can’t deliver on what we promised to your complete and utter satisfaction, we’ll personally pay for another concrete re-surfacer of YOUR choice to finish the job to your liking.
Your concrete surface is backed by a 5 year works warranty for residential. It means that in the unlikely event that the concrete re-surfacing shows signs of excessive wear and tear during that period of time, we will take whatever action is required to fix it at our own expense. (Guarantee does not apply to damage due to concrete cracking)
All that is required is that our recommended cost-effective maintenance program (pressure washing & resealing with the Wizcrete Concrete Sealer) be carried out every 24 months and we’ll honour this iron-clad guarantee.= So the risk is entirely ours.
