The Problem
Pool Areas Can Become Slippery, Hot, and Hard to Maintain
Old pebblecrete, tired concrete, and uneven repairs can make pool surrounds feel unsafe and dated.
Replacing everything from scratch is expensive and disruptive, especially when summer plans are already booked in.
Resin-bound resurfacing helps deliver better grip, cooler comfort, and easier cleaning without full rip-out in most projects.

MW PARTNERSHIPS
Ben at Gorilla Surfaces was very knowledgeable and super helpful during our resurfacing project. Couldn't recommend this team more if you need resurfacing done!
Jack Perchard
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Liam was upfront about everything, pricing, timeline, and what to expect. The quote was accurate, and there were no hidden extras. The team were punctual, professional, and incredibly tidy. They cleaned up at the end of each day, and you'd barely know they'd been here. The driveway looks incredible, the colour matched the samples exactly. Completed in under two days. Highly recommend.
Jamilla Starr
Communication was excellent. Ben from Gorilla was very insightful when he first came, he provided us with a lot of information, and made it really easy to pick the best path forward 😊. The actual installation took around 2 days, which was much quicker than we had expected. The workers were considerate and clean. Couldn't be happier with the new resin-bound drive.
Asher Mather-Neill
This whole process was seamless from start to finish. Communication was great from the Gorilla Surfaces team, pricing was excellent, and the work was started and finished in the timeline given. We absolutely love our new resurfaced pool area and walkways, and highly recommend GS for any resurfacing job. We went from dingy to fantastic in a couple of days, thanks to Ben and Liam!
Casey Mifsud
Really happy with how our front path and porch turned out. Went with Gorilla Surfaces and glad we did. Ben was easy to deal with from start to finish, and his team did a really clean job. Looks exactly like the colour sample we picked. Good communication, showed up on time, left everything tidy. Would definitely use again
Bryce Summerton
From the quote to clean up everything was clear and on time. The Gorilla team were very supportive with their feedback and recommendations. Very knowledgeable crew! The new finish has completely lifted the street appeal of our home.
