Blake and Daniel cleaned my patio and path at the front and did a great job. They were friendly and professional and explained well what they were going to do. I also had a bad dark patch which came up really well which others had failed to remove. I would definitely recommend them if like me you have a patio or driveway that badly needs a thorough clean

We had excellent service from start to finish. The guys were very professional, discussed everything over the phone initially then a visit with the drone to allow accurate quarter and expectation management. On the day they were considerate with the neighbours, did a wonderful job with the roof and gutters and cleared up so well that everything looked far better than when they started. Cannot recommend more highly.

Really impressed with Aquapro Roof cleaning. Very professional guys that done such a good job, that it looks like I’ve had a new roof installed, (after 40yrs of dirt and moss). Blake talked me through everything in detail, and answered any questions I had. Showed me the end result with his drone footage and left house clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

The offer
What re-colouring actually involves.
A faded imprinted concrete drive doesn't need replacing. The pattern's still there, the structure's fine — what's gone is the colour. Re-colouring strips the old failed sealer, re-applies colour hardener, and seals it back up. Done properly, the drive looks like new for the next 5+ years.
How it works
Five steps, no surprises.
Most re-colouring jobs follow the same path. We always strip, clean and dry before any colour goes down — anything skipped at this stage shows through within a year.
Free quote
Send your postcode plus close-up photos showing the fade pattern. Tell us roughly what year it was installed if you remember and what colour it was originally. Most quotes happen without a visit.
Strip + clean
Old failed sealer chemically stripped from the surface. Drive deep-cleaned with a rotary, rinsed thoroughly, then left to dry fully — usually overnight. Colour over a damp surface won't bond.
Colour application
Colour hardener mixed and applied across the surface in even passes. Worked into the imprinted pattern with a brush so the texture and detail come through clean. Colour matched to your original install from chip samples we hold.
Seal
Two coats of polyurethane sealer (the same family used at original install) lock the colour in and protect against tyre marks, weather and freeze-thaw. Each coat keyed to the previous so the seal doesn't peel.
Aftercare
Hands-off for 24 hours, drive-on after 48. We send a one-page aftercare sheet so you know when to re-seal — typically 5+ years on a re-coloured drive.
About us
A small Gloucestershire team that does this properly.
We're based in Gloucestershire and we cover the county — Cheltenham, Gloucester, Newent, Quedgeley, Abbeymead and the villages and Cotswold hamlets in between. Imprinted concrete re-colouring is a specialist sub-trade we run alongside drives, patios and roofs.
Imprinted concrete (also called pattern-imprinted concrete or PIC) is everywhere on 1990s and 2000s builds. The trouble is the original sealer fails after about 8–12 years and the colour leaches out — leaving you with a grey, faded mess that looks like cheap concrete. Most installers won't come back to fix it; they want to sell you a whole new drive. But the surface itself is fine — what's failed is the top coat. Re-colouring restores it for a fraction of replacement cost.
What we don't do
- We don't sub the work out — the person who quotes you is the person who turns up.
- We don't take deposits. You pay when the job's done and you're happy.
Where we work
The whole of Gloucestershire — every village, every town.
Cheltenham, Gloucester, Newent, Quedgeley, Abbeymead. Different stone, different access, same standard.
Imprinted concrete re-colouring prices
How much does imprinted concrete re-colouring cost?
We don't quote a flat rate over the phone — it's a full clean, re-colour and re-seal, so the area and condition matter — but to be straight with you, most re-colouring jobs are £600–£1,500. A modest, sound driveway sits at the lower end; larger areas, or surfaces that need repairs and a heavy strip-back before re-colouring, push it up.
What moves the price:
- Size of the driveway or patio (square metres)
- How faded, worn or stained the existing colour is
- Any cracks or surface repairs needed first
- Colour change vs refreshing the existing colour, and the sealer used
How we quote: a free no-obligation survey, a written price the same day, no deposit, pay only when it's done. Re-colouring includes the clean, the colour and a fresh seal in one job.
Common questions
The things people actually ask before booking.
Why has my imprinted concrete faded?
The original sealer's failed. Pattern-imprinted concrete is laid as a slab, then a coloured release powder and pattern mat are pressed in. The colour sits in a thin top layer protected by the sealer. Once the sealer goes (typically 8–12 years), UV and rain leach the colour out. The pattern's still there — what's gone is the colour and the protection.
Can it really look new again?
Yes — surprisingly so. Photos in our portfolio show drives that came back from grey-and-faded to original red, terracotta, sandstone or buff colour, depending on what they were originally. We match the colour from chip samples we hold or from photos of the drive when it was first laid.
Why not just re-seal it?
Re-sealing alone — without putting colour back in first — just locks in the faded look. Once the colour's gone, you have to add colour before sealing or you've wasted the job. We always recommend the full re-colour + re-seal as a combined process.
How long does a re-colour last?
5–8 years before the next re-seal is due. The colour itself lasts longer (it's bonded into the surface); the sealer is the part that wears with traffic and weather.
Is it cheaper than a new drive?
Roughly half. A new pattern-imprinted concrete drive starts around £80–120/m². Re-colouring runs roughly £30–50/m². For most domestic drives that's a £2,000–3,000 job vs. £5,000–7,000 for a full lift-and-relay — and you keep the existing pattern, no rebuild disruption.
