Hi Everyone, hoping you can help.

I have a concrete driveway that's a little shabby on top, but no cracks. Also, it's not the right shape and I wan to extend it to left and right.

I have decided to go for Resing Bonded gravel, and I have 3 questions if possible:

1. Can you widen a concrete drive with more concrete or will it simply keep cracking on the joins?
2. Can you Resin Bond existing shabby concrete?
3. What cost should I pay for the additional concreting and the resin bonding per m2.

I'm sorry lots of information needed. Astonished I've got this far really. It's quite confusing for a beginner.

Many thanks, Redrum

1 - yes, you can extend an existing concrete slab and, if done properly, there should be no movement along the joint

2 - How shabby is shabby? You need onsite advice

3 - How long is a piece of string? Depends on teh size of the job, access, area of the country, etc. The only sure way to get a fair price is to get AT LEAST three contractors to come, take a look, and give you a quote.
