Overview
What Is grind and seal concrete?
Grind and seal involves mechanically grinding existing concrete before applying premium protective coatings. It creates a durable, sealed surface with enhanced colour depth, and suits homes, showrooms and retail, workshops, studios and offices.
Grinding
Using specialised grinding equipment, the concrete surface is prepared and refined to the desired exposure level. This process enhances the natural character of the slab while creating a durable foundation for sealing.
Refining
The surface is refined to improve consistency and create a smooth finish ready for protective treatment.
Customisation
Different exposure levels and finish options can be selected to achieve the desired appearance and performance.
Sealing
A high-quality sealer is applied to protect the surface from moisture, staining and daily wear while enhancing its appearance.
finish options
We offer a range of grind and seal concrete finishes to suit residential and commercial spaces, with expert advice to help you choose the right solution.
Frequently asked questions
Whether you're considering grind and seal concrete for your home or business, it's natural to have a few questions. Here are some of the most common queries we get.
The cost of grind and seal concrete depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing slab, and the coating system you choose. Factors such as repairs, colour selection, access and preparation can all influence pricing. After inspecting your site, we provide a detailed, transparent quote so you know exactly what is included with no surprises.
Most grind and seal projects take between two and four days, depending on the size of the space and the coating selected. New slabs generally require less preparation, while older concrete may need repairs or additional grinding. We plan each stage carefully to minimise disruption and keep your project moving on schedule.
Matte sealed offers a soft, low-sheen look with minimal reflection, ideal for relaxed residential spaces. Satin sealed provides a balanced level of sheen that enhances colour without being overly reflective. Gloss sealed delivers maximum depth and a vibrant appearance suited to retail, showrooms and modern commercial environments.
Yes, the work area needs to be completely clear so we can grind and coat the slab evenly. We recommend removing furniture, appliances and personal items before our team arrives. If you need assistance coordinating this, let us know and we can help plan the project to make the process as easy as possible.

Steve and his team at GrindnShine are approachable, friendly and all round good eggs.
Whilst flat out busy (always a good sign) they still managed to fit me in, with realistic timescales (which they stuck to) and kept me up to date with progress.
The finish and colour are amazing and exactly as advised. One completely happy customer here who will be returning and recommending to anyone who needs work doing. Thanks again guys, legends!

The team at Grind n Shine are absolute legends, friendly, proactive, and fun.
Over the past year, I’d taken my car to several other paint shops that never seemed to have the time for me or just messed me about.
One day I spotted Grind n Shine from the road, dropped in on a whim, and Steve had my bumper looking better than ever in no time at all. He even took the initiative to walk me through fitting the bumper in detail, even though I was doing that part myself, a genuine care for his customers. Even the way they’ve set up and decorated the workshop reflects the pride they take in what they do. Couldn’t ask for better service and couldn’t recommend them enough.

Steve and the team at Grind & Shine
Steve and the team at Grind & Shine were brilliant after my car was damaged in a pub car park. Not the biggest job,but they gave me a quote to give to the person responsible, then were quick and efficient in getting the job done. Definitely would recommend.

Steve did an immaculate repair on a huge scrape on the side of my Nissan Juke. I really appreciated his help, his calm and the huge depth of experience that he brought to the situation – fairly priced too. Thank you Steve,Anne and the Grind and Shine team, you’re fabulous.
