Resin bound natural stone · Gold Coast

New stone,
no jackhammers.

We lay natural stone bound in UV-stable resin straight over your tired concrete, tiles or pavers. Driveways, pool surrounds, balconies and paths, finished in days, not weeks.

Before & after

Same surface. Brand new finish.

A cracked, stained Gold Coast driveway and a tired terracotta pool surround. In both jobs the old surface stayed put: we prepped it, primed it and laid natural stone straight over the top.

Over the tiles

High above the beach, zero demolition.

Ripping tiles off a high-rise balcony is loud, slow and messy. If the tiles are solid, we bond straight over them. You get a seamless, non-slip stone surface and the neighbours barely notice we were there.

Questions

The honest answers.

All FAQs
Can you lay it over my existing tiles or concrete?+

Yes. We lay over concrete, tiles, pavers and asphalt, as long as the base is solid. That means no jackhammers and far less mess than a full replacement. We'll check the base at the free measure.

What about cracks in my driveway?+

Minor cracks are repaired and prepped before we lay. If a slab is badly broken, sinking or moving, we need to see it first, and we'll tell you honestly if it needs fixing before any coating goes down.

How much does it cost?+

It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface and the stone you pick. The measure and quote is free, and you get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Is it slippery around the pool?+

No. Depending on the stone it has an R10 to R13 slip rating, which is why it's so popular around pools and wet areas.

How long until we can use it?+

Usually you can walk on it within about 24 hours and drive on it after about 48 hours, depending on the weather.
