A multi-step procedure for concrete polishing using diamond abrasives through approximately 10 stages, progressing from coarse to fine grits.
Quick answers
Concrete Grinding Auckland: what Auckland customers ask first
How long does the concrete take to coat?
A: Floor size, concrete hardness, and desired gloss level determine timing. Our team can polish 500 sq ft of standard concrete to a medium gloss in 1 to 2 days. High gloss polishing takes longer than lower sheen finishes.
What does the concrete grinding and coating process involve?
A: Multi-step grinding and polishing with specialised diamond abrasives to smooth and finish the concrete surface. Starting with coarse grit pads, closing pores and removing imperfections, then refining with progressively finer grits down to a super fine polish.
How often does polished concrete need resealing or recoating?
A: Extreme densification makes resealing unnecessary for 5+ years. Optional protective coatings may need touch ups every 2 to 4 years in high traffic areas.
Material and condition
Specify the concrete outcome before the machine work
Concrete grinding and polishing is scoped around existing coating, damage, flatness, aggregate exposure and the finish or preparation system required.
- Grinding, polishing and coating prep differ
- Aggregate exposure varies by slab
- Cracks and contamination stay visible in scope

Specify the concrete outcome before the machine work
Concrete grinding and polishing is scoped around existing coating, damage, flatness, aggregate exposure and the finish or preparation system required.
How is the required finish selected?
The source lists matte, satin, semi-gloss and high-gloss outcomes. Concrete hardness, existing condition, aggregate exposure and the desired gloss affect the process.
Can cracks and imperfections be included?
Crack repair, hole filling and treatment of imperfections are listed as an initial stage, but repairs and slab variation may remain visible in the finished surface.
Can existing concrete be worked on?
Existing concrete can be assessed for grinding, polishing or coating. Old coatings, stains, scratches, cracks and contamination must be reviewed because they affect preparation and the likely result.
Before requesting a quote
Information that helps define the scope
- Floor area and edge or corner access
- Concrete hardness and slab condition
- Existing coating, contamination and required removal
- Cracks, holes, repairs and surface imperfections
- Grinding, polishing, coating preparation and desired gloss
Describe existing coatings, cracks, holes, repairs, stains or contamination; confirm occupied areas, edge access and the required gloss or coating system; clear the work area where agreed and identify any site constraints before inspection.
Realistic expectations
Condition and limitations remain visible
Cracks, previous repairs, slab variation, contamination and variable aggregate exposure can remain visible or affect the chosen system. Grinding, polishing, grind-and-seal and coating preparation are different scopes and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Service-specific process
From assessment to review
Inspect slab and existing finish
Choose grinding or polishing path
Prepare the surface
Control edges and dust
Review the agreed finish

What kind of shine can you get with concrete coating?
A: Matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss finishes available. Uses 800 grit pads for medium gloss and 3000 grit for ultra high gloss.
Can you match the polished concrete to my interior colour scheme?
A: Yes, any colour tint or dye can be introduced. CleaningPro can match any paint swatch provided.
Can existing old concrete be coated?
A: Coating rejuvenates old concrete by removing blemishes, stains, and scratches. Filling cracks, grinding the surface reveals fine aggregate underneath.
Is the floor slippery after coating?
A: No, coated concrete has more traction than untreated concrete. Non-slip additives applied to meet safety standards.
Concrete grinding for New Zealand homes and workplaces
Concrete grinding, polishing and coating are related but different scopes. Grinding can remove surface irregularities or prepare concrete; polishing refines the surface through progressively finer stages; coatings add a separate film-forming system. The existing slab, cracks, contamination, moisture, hardness, required finish and future use determine which approach is suitable.
For Auckland and wider New Zealand projects, discuss dust control, edge work, access, power, noise, curing, slip expectations and re-entry before work starts. Old coatings or deep contamination may need testing or additional preparation. Related floor services include block honing and sealing, tile and grout cleaning, vinyl floor care and floor sanding, but the correct method depends on the substrate rather than appearance alone.
