If the exposure is inadequate the job can be sandblasted to even it up. The job can be honed to a smooth surface which can help to minimise some issues and that slurry that is honed off can be used to make a colour matched patching material, but a honed finish is a different finish and is expensive, though it's cheaper than the last option. The last option is to cut it up, rip it up and redo it. The concrete can be tiled over as it is simply a concrete slab (as long as it was done to correct engineered standards) but it's not really an option for an entire driveway. Any attempts to patch will stand out and won't really be to the standard of the original concrete. Thanks Chippy - with our job it affects our driveway and 30sqm of alfresco - the alfresco is just disastrous though, its honestly shocking with mass craters over the surface. So we were wondering if tiling over it is an option. Unsure how I feel about our driveway, its a disappointing scenario. For the people who started this post - don't accept the work - its unacceptable IMO. Last year I had a gas leak at my house. 3 days later, I have about 1 sqm of my exposed aggregate paving broken up. I am not sure how to go about getting it repaired… 0 10970 After some ideas on making our patio kid friendly . Currently we have exposed aggregate.
