Cracks:
Small cracks can be filled with a specially formulated color-matched patch filler to create a seamless surface.
For larger cracks, a more extensive repair may be needed, such as cutting out the damaged section and patching it with new concrete.
Damage:
Surface damage, such as chips or scratches, can be repaired using patching compounds or fillers designed for concrete.
Deeper damage may require more extensive repairs, such as grinding down the surface to remove the damaged area and then patching it with new concrete.
Joints:
Control joints, which are intentional cuts in the concrete to control cracking, will be filled with a specially formulated color-matched patch filler to prevent the edges chipping while grinding. These can be later recut at the discretion or left in depending on the movement of the concrete.
Expansion joints, which allow for the natural movement of the concrete, can also be filled with a flexible material to maintain a smooth surface.
It's important to address cracks, damage, and joints before polishing to ensure a uniform and high-quality finish. Your polishing professional can assess the condition of your concrete floor and recommend the best approach for repairing and preparing it for polishing.

Polished concrete is ground and refined to a high sheen using progressively finer diamond tooling, resulting in a glossy, reflective surface. Honed concrete follows the same grinding process but stops at a lower grit level, leaving a smooth, matte finish with little to no reflectivity. Honed is popular for residential interiors and bathrooms where a warmer, less industrial look is preferred. Both are durable and low-maintenance.
Yes. Diamond Shine Concrete handles both residential and commercial projects across Auckland. On the residential side, we work on new builds, renovations, and existing slabs in homes of all sizes. Commercially, we service retail stores, offices, warehouses, industrial facilities, and automotive workshops. The process and equipment vary by project type - we tailor our approach to suit the space and the finish required.
In most cases, yes. If your floor has an existing sealer, polyurethane, epoxy, or other coating, we can grind it back to expose the raw concrete beneath and start the polishing process from scratch. The condition of the concrete underneath determines what finish is achievable. We assess this on a site visit before quoting so you know exactly what to expect.
Polished concrete is a process that involves grinding and polishing a concrete surface to achieve a smooth, glossy finish. It is commonly used as a flooring option in both residential and commercial spaces.
Some benefits of polished concrete include its durability, low maintenance requirements, and aesthetic appeal. It is also environmentally friendly and can help improve indoor air quality.
In general, most concrete can be polished. However, the quality of the final result can depend on factors such as the quality of the concrete mix, the level of aggregate exposure desired, and the condition of the existing concrete surface.
The time it takes to polish concrete can vary depending on the size and complexity of the area, the level of polishing desired, and the condition of the concrete. In general, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a week or more.
