Concrete Polishing

Polished concrete is mechanically refined with diamonds and hardeners; the gloss is in the slab itself. Grind & seal is a lighter grind and a topical sealer on top — cheaper and faster, but sealer wears and needs re-coating.

Usually 1–2 days depending on condition, crack repairs and the sheen you want. Heavy glue/paint removal can add time.

Deep defects pressed into the slab can remain faintly visible. We’ll advise what’s realistic after seeing your photos; heavy grinds remove many surface marks.

When clean and dry, polished concrete has good slip resistance. For wet areas we can select a finer cut (matte/satin) or consider a sealed/honed option with anti-slip.

Dust-mop and neutral pH clean. No waxing needed. Years later a light re-polish can refresh traffic lanes.

We polish both. New slabs should be flat, well finished and cured. Existing slabs may need extra passes to remove coatings and level highs/lows.
