Concrete Finishes
Interior Concrete Resurfacing — Toronto & GTA
Fix pitted, cracked, or worn interior concrete without demo and re-pour.
About this service
Interior concrete resurfacing is the practical middle ground between living with a tired slab and tearing it out. If your interior concrete is structurally sound but the surface is pitted, spalled, cracked, or just unattractive, resurfacing bonds a fresh cementitious or polymer layer onto what's there. The build is thinner than a full overlay — typically 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch — and is designed to restore the surface rather than create a new look. From there, the resurfaced slab can accept staining, polishing, or a decorative coating, giving you a full menu of final finishes. Resurfacing is especially useful for garage conversions, retail renovations, and basement upgrades where the original slab wasn't finished with a final use in mind. It's dramatically cheaper and less disruptive than demo and re-pour, and in most cases the finished floor is indistinguishable from new concrete.

Questions people ask
Can I stain the resurfaced floor?+
Absolutely — this is one of the most common sequences. Resurface first to level the slab, then stain or dye for colour, then seal. Great outcome, cheap compared to new concrete.
How do I know if my slab is sound enough?+
We assess at the first visit — tap-test, visual inspection, and if there's doubt, a core cut. Resurfacing requires a stable substrate; if the slab is spalling or lifting, we'll flag that.
Is this the same as an overlay?+
Related but different. Resurfacing restores the existing surface at a thin build. Overlays build a new decorative surface on top, often thicker and with pattern work. We'll recommend which fits your situation.
