Services
Polished Concrete
Our polished concrete service transforms dull concrete into durable, glossy flooring. Using a 18-step mechanical process with diamond abrasives, we create slip-resistant surfaces that reflect light and resist stains. Ideal for homes, offices, and industrial spaces, this low-maintenance solution lasts decades with proper care. The process includes grinding, grouting, chemical hardening, and multi-stage polishing to achieve your desired gloss level.
Grind and Seal
This budget-friendly option prepares concrete surfaces for sealing with non-slip additives. We use water or solvent-based sealers for UV stability in outdoor areas like garages and patios. While requiring periodic reapplication, this method provides immediate protection against moisture and stains. Not recommended for high-traffic zones, it offers a cost-effective alternative to full polishing for less demanding environments.
Acid Etching
Acid etching creates textured, non-slip finishes for outdoor areas like pool decks and driveways. The chemical process removes surface layers to expose aggregate while maintaining underfoot comfort. This technique enhances adhesion for subsequent coatings and is particularly effective for uneven surfaces. Proper neutralisation and rinsing ensure safety and longevity of the finished surface.
Floor Preparation
Our floor preparation services address uneven concrete through precision levelling techniques. We correct sunken or cracked areas without full replacement, saving time and costs. Services include glue removal, trip hazard correction, and surface restoration for residential and commercial properties. This process ensures optimal adhesion for new coatings or flooring installations.
Concrete Levelling
Specialised concrete levelling addresses foundation imperfections through controlled grinding. We restore level surfaces for residential and commercial floors, driveways, and sidewalks. The non-invasive process preserves existing structures while improving safety and aesthetics. Our expertise ensures minimal disruption and long-lasting results for both new and aged concrete installations.

Questions
What concrete polishing options do you offer?
We provide aggregate concrete, salt and pepper finishes, and custom exposure levels. Our 18-step process allows precise control over gloss levels and surface texture for residential and commercial applications.
How much does polished concrete cost?
Prices range from $3 to $12 per square foot depending on project complexity. This includes surface preparation, multi-stage polishing, and protective sealing for long-term durability.
Do you offer concrete sealing services?
Yes, we apply water or solvent-based sealers with optional non-slip additives. This protects surfaces from stains and moisture while enhancing visual appeal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Can old concrete be polished?
Most existing concrete surfaces can be polished, provided they're structurally sound. Our team assesses porosity and平整度 to determine suitability before starting any restoration project.
Is polished concrete slippery?
While naturally slip-resistant, we apply sealers that enhance traction, especially in wet areas. This ensures safety without compromising the glossy finish or aesthetic appeal.

Joe recently completed our job at my Anytime Fitness club. Grindworks are true professionals. Our club looks amazing and Joe has a no fuss attitude, turns up early, gets stuck in and doesn’t muck around. Working with Grindworks was refreshing. Through my project we had people not turn up, leave without warning and delay our timeline. Not Grindworks though. Completed on time and slightly less than quoted! Keep up the great work Joe!! Thanks Chris

We are a quality building company that was asked to produce a polished concrete slab for a new house we were building .Never having worked with polished concrete before we engaged Grindworks and Joe to guide us through the process. Joe was excellent and easy to deal with though out the job. The client paid extra in the stone mix from the concrete company and when polished by Grindworks the mix and finish didn’t disappoint. Quality workmanship with great knowledge of his work. We will be using Grindworks and Joe on all future projects. Thanks Mark
