Resurfacing Prep & Restoration

In many cases, existing concrete can be restored rather than covered again. We regularly remove old CoverCrete, SprayCrete and decorative coatings, the underlying concrete can then be honed, polished or finished with a durable grind and seal system for a modern, lower-maintenance finish that won't peel or flake.

  • Removal of CoverCrete, SprayCrete & overlays
  • Failed epoxy coating and paint removal
  • Converting coated concrete to honed & sealed
  • Re-honing existing honed concrete
  • Exposed aggregate restoration

De-fit work is a big part of what we do. At the end of a lease or fit-out, we strip carpet glue, vinyl and tile adhesives, epoxy coatings and line markings, then grind the slab back to a clean, bondable surface ready for the next tenant or finish. As an experienced floor preparation contractor, we profile concrete to the exact surface profile your flooring system needs.

As one of the most experienced concrete floor grinding contractors in South East Queensland, we provide concrete grinding services and concrete floor preparation services across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba. From surface grinding a single room to floor grinding a full commercial tenancy, our floor grinding Brisbane crews and concrete floor grinding Gold Coast teams run the same dustless system, with concrete grinding Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba projects quoted within two days like everywhere else. Our fleet of more than 15 planetary concrete grinders makes us one of the largest concrete grinding and surface preparation teams in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, and because grinding is stage one of concrete polishing, the same crews handle concrete polishing and grinding end to end.

Need a flood coat or self-levelling finish on top? We prepare floors ready for them and can connect you with a trusted application partner, so your project moves from prep to finished floor without juggling multiple contractors. Restoring a heavy-duty slab? See our industrial flooring services.

Concrete Grinding FAQs

The questions builders, facility managers, property managers and homeowners ask us most.

Why do you need to grind concrete before a new floor goes down?

+
Most of the time, yes. Concrete grinding removes adhesives, coatings, contaminants, surface imperfections and weak concrete that prevent new flooring systems from bonding correctly. Proper preparation reduces the risk of flooring failures, lifting, delamination and costly rectification works.

Do new concrete slabs need grinding before flooring goes down?

+
In many cases, yes. Even newly poured concrete can contain curing compounds, trowel marks and high spots that affect the performance of polished concrete, epoxy flooring or floor coverings. Grinding creates the correct surface profile required for long-term adhesion.

Why do you need to grind before applying epoxy flooring?

+
Epoxy relies on mechanical adhesion to the concrete surface. Grinding removes contaminants and creates the surface profile required for the epoxy to bond correctly. Applying epoxy over an unprepared surface significantly increases the risk of peeling and failure, in many cases the epoxy will lift within 12 months.

How much does concrete grinding cost in Brisbane?

+
Costs vary depending on area size, floor condition, access requirements and the type of coatings or adhesives being removed. Large open areas are more cost-effective per square metre. Pricing starts from around $5/m². Contact us for a detailed, obligation-free quote for your site and floor condition.

How long does it take to grind a 2,000m² warehouse floor?

+
Project duration depends on floor condition and scope of works. Using large-scale remote-controlled grinding equipment, OzGrind completes warehouse floors significantly faster than traditional methods. A 2,000m² floor typically takes 3 to 6 days depending on complexity. We provide accurate timeframes with every quote.

How do you control silica dust during grinding?

+
OzGrind uses dust-controlled grinding equipment, industrial extraction systems, wet grinding methods where appropriate and site-specific silica management procedures, creating a safer environment for workers, occupants and neighbouring trades on every project.

Can old CoverCrete, SprayCrete or decorative coatings be removed?

+
Yes. OzGrind can remove many existing decorative resurfacing systems, overlays and coatings. In many cases, the underlying concrete can then be honed and sealed to create a modern, lower-maintenance finish, without the ongoing peeling and maintenance issues of older coating systems.

Can uneven floors be levelled without replacing the slab?

+
In many cases, yes. Concrete grinding can remove high spots, trip hazards and minor level variations without the cost and disruption of demolishing and replacing the slab, whether caused by poor placement, rain damage, slab movement or construction defects.

What is involved in a warehouse make-good?

+
A warehouse make-good typically involves removing line markings, floor coatings and adhesives, removing anchor and dynabolts, repairing concrete damage and returning the floor to a clean condition suitable for landlord handover. OzGrind handles all of this under one contract, less coordination, faster delivery.

Do you work after hours or on weekends?

+
Yes. We regularly work after hours and on weekends for commercial tenants, retailers and facility managers who cannot disrupt operations during business hours. Let us know your constraints and we'll schedule accordingly.

Is concrete resurfacing the same as concrete grinding?

+
Often, yes. Much of what people call concrete resurfacing is mechanical grinding or honing: the surface is ground back to remove coatings, high spots or damage, then finished to the look you want. That is exactly what we do. We do not apply flood coats or self levelling toppings. If your slab needs a new surface rather than grinding, a thin overlay such as a microcement or feather finish system may suit, and we prepare and finish those floors too.

Can I hire a concrete grinding machine and do it myself?

+
You can hire a concrete grinding machine, but for anything beyond a small patch it rarely pays off. Hire grinders are lighter, slower and cut less consistently than production machines, and grinding concrete creates hazardous silica dust that must be controlled with proper extraction. Our crews run heavy Husqvarna and Klindex concrete floor grinding equipment with dustless vacuum systems, finish in a fraction of the time, and leave a surface that is genuinely ready for the next flooring system.
