Concrete Repairs & Surface Preparation
Proper preparation is everything. We restore damaged floors and mechanically prepare surfaces to ensure long-lasting resin flooring performance.
ACL provides surface preparation and repair services as part of full resin installations, or as standalone support for contractors and commercial clients.
Our Repair & Prep Services Include:
Crack & Joint Repairs: Epoxy mortars and flexible fillers used to restore surface integrity
Patch Repairs & Screeds: Rebuilding damaged areas for level, even coating application
Moisture Barrier Installation: Applied to reduce risk of delamination from residual damp
- Grinding & Shot-Blasting: Removes laitance, opens the concrete surface and provides mechanical key
- Edge Detailing & Step Repairs: Ensures safe, reinforced transitions, coves, and terminations
Why Surface Preparation & Repair Matters
Eliminates Cracks & Defects
Smooth, patch-free surfaces prevent premature failure
Ensures Maximum Adhesion
Resin systems are only as good as the base they bond to
Reduces Moisture & Vapour Risk
DPMs and priming help mitigate issues from below the slab
Removes Contaminants & Coatings
Oils, paint, laitance and dust are professionally stripped away
Custom Preparation for Each System
From diamond grinding to shot-blasting or scabbling
Full Substrate Evaluation
We assess hardness, porosity and structural soundness before every job
