Adelaide Resin-Bound Resurfacing Specialists

Pricing depends on site condition, preparation, access, drainage, edging, aggregate selection, project size and design complexity. Every project is assessed individually, and a clear written quote is provided after an on-site assessment.

Yes, in most cases. Resin-bound surfacing is designed to be applied directly over existing concrete, asphalt, and other stable substrates. We assess your surface during the free site visit to confirm suitability. If your existing surface has minor cracks or unevenness, we prepare and repair it before applying the resin-bound finish. This means no jackhammers, no skip bins, and no weeks of disruption, just a clean, professional transformation over what's already there.

A professionally installed resin-bound surface lasts 15-25+ years. The lifespan depends on usage, base preparation, and the quality of materials used. We use only UV-stable, high-grade resin systems specifically selected for Adelaide's harsh sun and temperature extremes, and every installation comes with our 10-year written guarantee.

No. The natural texture of the stone aggregate provides excellent grip, even in wet conditions. Resin-bound surfaces meet anti-slip safety standards, which is one of the reasons they're a popular choice for pool surrounds and sloped driveways. Because the surface is permeable, water drains through rather than pooling on top, further reducing slip risk.

Resin-bound resurfacing is a method of creating a smooth, seamless stone surface by mixing natural stone aggregates with a clear, UV-stable resin and hand-trowelling the mixture directly onto an existing surface.

The result is a continuous, joint-free finish that looks and feels like natural stone, without the gaps, loose stones, or uneven edges you get with gravel, pavers, or exposed aggregate.

Because the stone is fully bound within the resin (rather than scattered loose on top), the surface is solid and stable. When installed over a suitable permeable base and drainage design, water can move through the surface instead of pooling or running off. This is a key difference from concrete and many hard surfaces, which are non-permeable and can create drainage complications.

Resin-bound surfacing can be applied to driveways, pool surrounds, patios, entertaining areas, pathways, tree surrounds, and commercial surfaces. In most cases, it's applied directly over suitable existing concrete, asphalt, or another stable substrate, reducing demolition, excavation and skip-bin use. Timing depends on size, preparation and weather, and is confirmed during quoting.

Gorilla Surfaces brings a specialist resin-bound resurfacing system to Adelaide, using materials selected for our climate, including UV-stable resin and heat-tolerant stone blends for South Australian summers.
