Toronto Concrete Repairs, based in Mississauga since 2015
Concrete Resurfacing Mississauga
Resurfacing puts a new bonded surface over concrete that is solid but worn: pitted, flaking, stained or patched. No demolition, no new pour, done in a day or two, and the driveway, walkway, patio or floor looks new again.
Toronto Concrete Repairs resurfaces concrete across Mississauga for homeowners, property managers and businesses. We repair first, then resurface, and because we also replace concrete, we tell you plainly when a slab is past resurfacing.
Is your concrete a candidate?
Resurfacing works on concrete that is level and solid. The surface can be in rough shape; that is the point. What matters is what the surface is sitting on.
- Flaking, pitting or scaling from salt and winter
- Stains, discolouration, old paint or a failed coating
- Hairline cracks and chipped edges
- A patchwork of old repairs that never matched
- A surface that is just worn out and looks it
All of that gets repaired and covered.
What resurfacing cannot fix
A section that has sunk, heaved, pulled away from the house or cracked clean through. The base has failed, and a new surface over it cracks along the same line within a season. That section needs to be rebuilt, which is a concrete replacement job.
Three photos usually settle it: the whole area, the worst spot, and where the concrete meets the house or the next slab. We do both, so there is no reason for us to steer you wrong.
What we resurface in Mississauga
Residential and commercial. Same crew for the repairs and the new surface.
Driveway resurfacing
Scaled, stained and pitted driveways renewed with a broom finish that grips in winter, sealed against salt. A fraction of the cost of a new driveway when the slab is sound.
Driveway repair in detail
Porch and step resurfacing
Crumbling edges rebuilt, treads levelled, then the whole entrance resurfaced in one piece with a non slip texture. Our most common Mississauga job.

Walkways and sidewalks
Front walks and side paths resurfaced end to end so repairs disappear. Joints resealed so water stays out and the freeze does not get under it.
Patio resurfacing
Tired back patios made usable again with a smooth, broom or textured surface. Want it to look like stone? See decorative overlays in Mississauga.
Pool deck resurfacing
Flaking, slippery or hot decks resurfaced with a textured finish that stays cool underfoot and grips when wet.

Garage, basement and commercial floors
Dusting, pitted or uneven floors ground, repaired and resurfaced, including self levelling where the floor needs it, then sealed or coated with epoxy or polyaspartic.
Basement floors in MississaugaResurfacing, overlay or restoration
People use these words for the same thing. Here is how we use them, so you know which page you need.
Resurfacing
A new, plain surface to make sound concrete look and wear like new. Smooth, broom or light texture. This page.
Thin bonded layer, skim coat or self levelling compound over repaired concrete. The practical fix at the practical price.
Decorative overlay
You want it to look like stone, slate, brick, or a coloured finished floor.
Thicker, stamped, textured or coloured. Same repairs underneath, more finish on top. Concrete overlays in Mississauga.
Restoration
The whole thing has aged: failed coatings, tile, broken edges, stains, joints, all of it.
Every repair, then resurfaced or refinished, then sealed. The full treatment. Concrete restoration in Mississauga.
How concrete resurfacing is done
Assess and prepare
We confirm the slab is sound, then grind and clean the surface so the new layer bonds to concrete, not to dirt, paint or a failed coating.
Repair
Cracks routed and filled, pits and spalls cut back and rebuilt with polymer modified repair mortar, edges reformed. Repairs are what make a resurfacing last.
Prime, resurface, seal
Bonding primer, then the resurfacing compound applied and finished smooth, broomed or textured, and sealed against salt and water. Foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours.
Most porch, step and walkway resurfacing takes one to two days. Driveways and patios two to three. Exterior work runs April to November in Mississauga; floors can be done year round.
What concrete resurfacing costs in Mississauga
Resurfacing is priced by the job. What moves the number is how much repair the concrete needs first, the size of the area, and the finish. A plain broom finish costs less than a decorative one; Graniflex is priced per project and carries a ten year warranty.
Porches and steps are the easiest to give a range for. Driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks and floors are quoted from photos or a site visit. Every quote is free, in writing and held for 21 days. Prices are before HST.
| Job | Typical cost | Time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Porch and steps, repair and resurface | $2,000 to $6,000 | 1 to 3 days |
| Graniflex finish | Priced per project | 2 to 3 days |
| Driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks, floors | Quoted from photos | 1 to 3 days |
For comparison, removing and replacing concrete runs about $30 per square foot. Resurfacing a sound slab is a fraction of that. Written warranty: three years on overlays, ten years on Graniflex.
What Mississauga clients say
Three of our 100+ reviews, all resurfacing work in Mississauga.
Porch, steps and basement floor
“We hired Toronto Concrete Repair to repair and resurface the concrete floor of our basement furnace room and to repair and resurface the steps and front porch of our 1960’s home in Mississauga. They came when they said they would. They worked hard, are perfectionists and did an amazing job on these projects for us. We highly recommend.”
Porch and steps resurfaced
“Before hiring them, our porch and steps were covered with tiles and water was leaking into our cold cellar. Now the final product looks amazing and we can enjoy our time on a beautiful porch. From their reasonable price, prompt and responsive service to their wonderful workers, this company did an outstanding job.”
Porch and walkway
“We’re very pleased with the results of the work done by Toronto Concrete and Repairs. The job was done as scheduled and within budget. We liked the attention to detail and flexibility to address small additional items. What we really liked was the follow-up after the work was done.”

Concrete resurfacing in Mississauga, common questions
How much does concrete resurfacing cost in Mississauga?
It is priced by the job, not the square foot. Repairing and resurfacing a porch and steps typically costs $2,000 to $6,000. Driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks and floors are quoted from photos or a site visit, because how much repair the surface needs matters more than its size. For comparison, removing and replacing concrete runs about $30 per square foot. Quotes are free, in writing and held for 21 days.
Can cracked concrete be resurfaced?
Hairline and surface cracks, yes. They are routed and filled before the new surface goes on. A crack where one side is higher than the other, or that runs clean through the slab, means the concrete has moved, and resurfacing over it will not hold. That section needs to be rebuilt first.
How long does resurfaced concrete last in Mississauga?
Many years on a sound slab, if it is sealed and resealed every two to three years. De-icing salt and water getting under the surface are what shorten its life. Resurfacing carries a three year written warranty; Graniflex carries ten.
How long does the work take?
Porches, steps and walkways usually one to two days. Driveways and patios two to three. You can walk on it after 24 to 48 hours; keep vehicles off a resurfaced driveway for about a week.
Will it be slippery in winter?
Not if it is finished for it. We recommend a broom or textured finish on anything you walk on in winter, and a non slip additive in the sealer on smoother surfaces.
What is the difference between resurfacing and an overlay?
Resurfacing is a thin, plain new surface to make sound concrete look and wear like new. An overlay is the decorative version: thicker, stamped, textured or coloured. Both start with the same repairs. If you want it to look new, resurface. If you want it to look like stone or a finished floor, see concrete overlays in Mississauga.
What maintenance does resurfaced concrete need?
Rinse it, keep de-icing salt to a minimum, and reseal every two to three years. That is it. Resealing is a half day job we can do for you.
Are you licensed, insured and WSIB covered?
Yes to all three. We carry full liability insurance and every person on our crews is covered by WSIB. Certificates are available on request.
