Why Seal

Concrete is porous. We make it bulletproof.

Bare concrete soaks up water, oil, salt and UV. Within a year it cracks from the inside, stains on the surface and fades in the sun. A proper seal locks the slab tight so the driveway you’ve already paid for keeps looking new. For years, not months.

  • Water beads off instead of seeping in. No more cracking from the inside out.
  • Oil, mud and leaves wipe straight off with a quick rinse.
  • UV-stable colour through five-plus Australian summers.
  • Lower maintenance. A quick hose-down is all you’ll ever need.

It’s not just looks.
It’s protection.

Sealing is the single best thing you can do to extend the life of your concrete and lift your home’s kerb appeal.

Instant kerb appeal

A freshly sealed driveway transforms the front of your home and can add real value at sale time.

Stain & weather proof

Seals repel oil, grease, moss and water, so spills wipe away and the surface shrugs off the Illawarra weather.

Lasts far longer

Sealing stops cracking, pitting and fading before they start, dramatically extending the life of your concrete.

Easy to maintain

A sealed surface is far easier to keep clean. A quick rinse is usually all it takes to look fresh.

Fast turnaround

Most residential jobs are completed in a day or two with minimal disruption to your home.

5-star workmanship

The same craftsmanship Wollongong trusts for driveways and slabs, now protecting your existing concrete.

Frequently Asked

Questions worth asking.

Straight answers about pricing, timing, what to expect, and the kind of finish we put down.

How long does a sealed surface last?

A premium Five Star seal typically holds up for five years or more before it needs a refresh. We back every job with a written 5-year warranty. Heavily trafficked driveways may want a top-up coat sooner; quiet patios often look factory-fresh well past the warranty window.

How much does it cost to seal my driveway?

Price depends on the size of the slab, the condition of the surface and which finish you choose (clear seal, colour seal, or a full recolour). Most residential driveways land in a tight range, and we give you a fixed price up front. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation to book.

How long does the job take?

Most residential jobs are wrapped in a day or two. We pressure wash on day one, let the surface dry, then apply the sealing or recolour. You’ll usually have a fully usable driveway again within 24 to 48 hours of the final coat.

Will sealing change the colour of my concrete?

A clear seal lifts the existing colour and adds a subtle sheen without changing the tone. A colour seal or full recolour lets you choose a new shade entirely. We’ll show you sample finishes during the quote so there are no surprises.

Is the surface slippery when wet?

We use an anti-slip additive in every coat, so the finished surface has plenty of grip. It’s safe around pool surrounds, paths and steep driveways. If you want extra grip for a high-traffic area, just mention it during the quote.

When can I drive on it again?

Foot traffic is fine within a few hours of the final coat. Light vehicle traffic is good after 24 hours. We recommend giving heavy vehicles 48 hours to be safe. We’ll talk you through the timing on the day so nothing’s in the way.

Do you seal new concrete?

Yes. Fresh concrete should be left to cure for at least 28 days before sealing, then it’s the perfect time to lock the surface in before stains, weather and UV do any damage. Sealing new concrete is the cheapest insurance you can buy for the slab.

Are you insured?

Fully. Five Star carries public liability cover on every job. Happy to send the certificate of currency before we start if you’d like to see it.
