Imprinted concrete sealing
Pattern imprinted concrete looks superb for a few years, then the seal wears off and it goes grey, patchy and slippery. Cleaning and resealing brings the colour back without touching the concrete itself.

- Colour brought backA fresh seal lifts the original colour and pattern out of the surface again.
- Moss and algae removedGrowth sitting in the pattern and joints is treated and cleaned out before anything is applied.
- Protected going forwardA sealed surface sheds water, resists oil and dirt and slows regrowth, so it stays looking right for longer.
How often it needs doing
Most imprinted drives need resealing every three to five years, sooner on a drive that gets full sun or heavy traffic. If yours has gone dull or the colour looks washed out, it is usually the seal rather than the concrete.
Pattern imprinted concrete restoration in Leeds, done right
Pattern imprinted concrete is a specialist surface that requires proper care to remove dirt, organic growth and staining while protecting its decorative stamped finish. Over time, weather and everyday use can dull the colour, wear away the original sealer and make surfaces slippery. As SmartSeal approved contractors, we use industry leading SmartSeal products and professional techniques to fully restore, protect and revitalise your concrete surfaces across Leeds, all in one place.
- 01
Concrete cleaning and pressure washing
Specialist cleaning to safely lift dirt, algae, moss and weathering.
The process: our professional cleaning uses controlled pressure washing to safely remove build up without damaging the concrete or disturbing the stamped pattern. We also apply targeted treatments to eliminate organic growth and help reduce the rate of regrowth, keeping your surface cleaner for longer.
The result: a refreshed surface that looks cleaner, improves safety underfoot and enhances the overall appearance of your property.

Concrete clear sealing
Enhance colour and protect your surface with premium SmartSeal clear coatings.
The process: as pattern imprinted concrete ages, the original sealer wears away, leaving the surface dull, faded and vulnerable to damage. Using high grade SmartSeal clear sealers, our professional sealing process deepens and enhances the existing colour while creating a tough barrier against water ingress, staining and UV fading.
The result: improved durability that maintains the surface condition for longer, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacement. This is the ideal solution for surfaces that are lightly to moderately worn and still in good structural condition.

Concrete recolouring
Restore heavily faded or worn concrete with professional grade SmartSeal colour coatings.
The process: when pattern imprinted concrete becomes patchy, faded or worn, it can significantly pull down the appearance of your property. Our recolouring system applies high performance SmartSeal coatings that chemically bond to the surface, delivering a deep, uniform colour across the entire area. This process also allows for precise colour matching or complete colour changes depending on your preference.
The result: a full visual transformation without the need for expensive replacement. It is the ultimate solution for surfaces where sealing alone is no longer enough.
Common problems we fix with concrete recolouring
Over time, environmental wear can take a heavy toll on decorative concrete. Here are the most frequent issues our recolouring service completely transforms:
- Severe colour fade: constant exposure to harsh UV rays and weathering drains the vibrancy right out of your driveway or patio.
- Patchy and uneven tone: uneven foot traffic and ageing cause the surface to lose its uniformity, leaving a tired, mottled look.
- Deep surface wear: years of daily use leave the concrete looking weathered, tired and stripped of its original character.
- Beyond simple sealing: when the damage and fading run too deep, a standard clear seal simply will not cut it. Recolouring is required to bring it back to life.
