Customer Reviews
I have a large printed Driveway that takes 50 Ltr for two coats to give it a perfect finish as a smart seal gives. Jack Quin Limerick Ireland.
Had our stamped concrete put down 5 years ago and havent touched it since.Recently bought smartseal Silk stamped concrete sealer and added Tudor brown tint and has brought it back to how it was when we first had it done .Really easy to apply and dries quick .Highly recommended .
Excellent product prompt delivery overall excellent customer service
Have used this product before with excellent results!!! Didn't disappoint again with easy application and as good as new finish!!! Highly recommended!!!
I used this product on part of my driveway and it gives excellent results. It is very expensive and I will need another 25 litres to finish the job. Make sure to powerhouse the imprinted concrete thoroughly and let dry before applying. Two coats are definitely needed and although I applied it sparingly I was surprised how much of the sealant I used.
Fantastic product and great service thank you. Printed concrete looks new again
Great product & speedy delivery with no worries
If you are hesitating and wondering whether to buy this product.. ..do not wait any longer , Watch their Videos on You tube first . It does exactly as Smartseal says. I gave it 2 coats and it came up perfect with lovely wet look. Just be sure to buy the brush that goes with it if you do not already have one. Martin.
I just applied this product last Saturday. The rain has beaded on it and it has a lovely wet looks. Easy to use and spreads well.
changed my black driveway to brown with sealer and brown tint hard work but worth it came up great
Excellent product very easy to apply absolutely delighted with finished result, I would definitely recommend this to anyone and smartseal were great to deal with from start to finish many thanks

I only covered half the drive with sealer on the first day, the rain overnight just beaded on top of the treated half, but soaked into the untreated half. It really showed how effective the product is. Very happy.

Hi,I wanted to leave some feedback after using smartseal products recently.I had a very worn imprinted concrete driveway that had grey vehicle tracks on it. I sent photos of it to Nigel and after a brief call and exchange of emails, he sent me a quote.I'm really happy with the products and the finished result. It took a while to get the timing right with the weather but when I had a dry day that wasn't too warm in mid August, I managed to get it done.As advised, I removed all the loose bristles on the brush and it worked a treat throughout the application of the repair and sealant. I spoke to Nigel a couple of times on the phone and he was really helpful and took the time to talk me through each step.It was good to know that he was available should I have ran into problems at all.As it was, it applied really easily. The mask is a must though as the fumes are quite strong. It's been nearly a month now and the drive looks fantastic.I've had a neighbour ask where they could buy the sealant from and so have now directed them to smartseal.Before and after pictures attached.Please feel free to post the images and my comments on the website, although please don't use my surname.Regards,Chris.
Used this on wood effect concrete fence panels as a sealer and to enhance the colour of a Russet concrete stain, after advice from Nigel. Excellent delivery service. Far better coverage than anticipated. Final finish is superb and exceeded my expectations, looks just like newly stained wood.
I would just like to say how helpful your team are. I am an elderly lady with 58sq metres of drive. I managed to do it all by myself and it is the best it has looked since it was laid in 1999. I would not have been able to attempt this without your guidance. I am more then happy with the service you have given.
You must wear a musk When using. But the end result ex, will use again, no question asked. 5star
Very helpful people at Smartseal answered all my husbands queries, painted it on with a big paint brush, extremely easy to apply and fantastic finish would recommend.
Hi Nigel. Just a note to thank you for the help and advice you gave when I ordered the materials to resell my drive. Everything went according to plan, having been very lucky with the weather, and the finished result is great. I will happily recommend you and Smartseal to anyone! Thank you again. With regards. John Burton.
Much appreciated the guidance from Luke and Nigel on preparation before using. Got about a m2 from 1 litre and touch dry in less than an hour at 15C. Very happy with the end result.
It is the first time I have sealed my drive myself. I am very pleased with the results & will be using your sealer again, I have had lots of compliments & have been asked about the sealer & have passed on your details. I put the non slip additive in & I can confirm it works. Many thanks for your quick response when you had problems with delivery. regards, Glyn Evans
Used thesis product for the first time. Adding a slate grey colour. What an amazing result. Looked as it did when it was first put down. We could not believe what an amazing job. It looked like new
Delivery was efficient and product easy to use. Initial results from 2 coats look promising and it has made a vast improvement to the appearance of our patio/driveway. Time will tell how durable it is.
Hi Nigel, After your superb advice, I have managed to restore my imprinted concrete as good as I possibly could, I carried out the work in sections to minimise impact on everyday activity. Some parts of the drive, as you suggested, did not come up as good as the less worn parts but still an 80% improvement. This was mainly due to the fact I had not had it coated for approx 7 years. I only wish I knew how manageable the task was 5 years ago, as it would still have looked as good as new, if I had coated it every couple of years. The result was more manageable and better quality than the "pro" guy did 7 years ago, thanks for your expert, extensive and appropriate advice. Please feel free to use this testimony if it helps. Thanks again.
First class product and service. ( again)
Excellent will be using this again.
Used the sealer and tint on our imprinted concrete driveway looks like new, fast delivery and excellent service, many thanks Nigel.
My Hubby and I used this sealant on our 18 year old drive.we are a couple of O.A.P's so we probably took a lot longer to prepare and do the job,but we are pleased to say our drive looks much better now would recommend this product and the company for first class service.
Very good product easy coverage & enhanced colours on concrete very easily. Returned concrete to almost new condition again.
Excellent product excellent company, they both did exactly what they said they would do. My driveway is now like brand new with enough to do it again in a couple of years. 5 out of 5
Absolutely first class service with first class materials and after following the step by step advice my drive is as good as the day it was laid. Best days work I ever did contacting this firm, I'll be contacting again shortly to do the area at the back.
Great Purchase. Simple and quick to use. Driveway looks better now than it did when it was new. A driveway company working 2 doors away asked me where the sealer was from , they were so impressed. I won't be looking anywhere else in the future. Customer sevice is second to none too.
Since the completion of our drive we have had nothing but trouble with its appearance that was never rectified by the cowboy that did it despite numerous promises leaving it looking an absoloute sight with a mass of chipped and faded areas.When stumbled across this company was greeted with understanding and support so much so decided to try and rectify the problem ourselves by purchasing their products. From the word go Nigel has been an absoloute gem being there every step of the way for us always returning calls if not available at time of calling. We truly can not believe the difference it has made to our drive that we never thought anything other than replacing it would be the answer. These products are like majic in a tin and we are so grateful to Nigel for his time and effort given to us. Don't ever despair at the sight of your drive as we believe you can rely on this company and Nigel to help you restore it. Thank you so much, Brilliant :)
Once again excellent service from Smartseal. I used this sealant and colour 4 years ago with excellent results (in fact my drive didn't really need re-sealing just yet!) However I re-ordered and got more helpful advice and service from Nigel, and totally recommend this company and their products. A really good quality easy-to-use product, and also very fast delivery!
I used 25 litres of sealant to cover an 80 sq m drive, getting two good coats, plus a little spare to go over the cracks again - better coverage than I expected. I was concerned that the concrete was exposed and lost some colour after power-washing, but the finish is very good indeed. It was a hot day, so some bubbling, which I'll avoid in future. This was the only maintenance applied to the drive in 10-plus years, and it looks like new. Next time (in a few years) I'll put some tint in, but for now, I'm very pleased with the result. Mastic: 28m out of 4 tubes, so spot-on.
Yesterday we used your sealer, tint and grip on our driveway...the result is a superb finish, due in part to our hard work but also your great advise. To change from gloss to silk and not to add too much tint but `little by little` was the best approach. Last night it rained after a nice day and to see the water protection on the surface made all the effort worth while. We can not thank you enough for the sterling service provided and see you again in 2 - 3 years. A very satisfied customer....Elaine and Brian
Great product - second time I've used it and with a little colour tint brings the imprinted grey cobbled drive up like new. Used Ronseal concrete seal previously but this product is far superior. Only down side is passers-by keep stopping me from gardening to compliment me on the driveway and where can they get the sealant from.
Used the silk imprinted concrete sealer very easy to use and it made a brilliant job drive looks like new would recommend
Excellent product, easy to apply and far better than the original sealant applied on installation. I strongly suggest viewing the video - very honest and helpful
5 excellent.
Excellent product used it before but my patio was looking very sad, now it is looking very happy and proud. Easy to use even a woman can do it__ME, Thankyou for fast delivery and friendly advise.
Excellent product did wat it said easy to apply 5 star rating
Used the silk sealer along with the anti slip additive for second coat. Really impressed, drive looks like new and yes we have already had rain to prove anti slip works. Sealer kit good for job. The only disappointment was the brush, just would not stop shedding bristles, gave up and went back to roller as spent more time picking out the shed 'hairs'. Would recommend all but the brush.
I found the Smartseal quite easy to apply using a sweeping brush. The colour tint took a bit mixing, but it came out nice and even when applied.
Great product, followed the instructions on the video and everything went as it should have, also used the anti slip additive to help with the slope of the drive, Drive looks good even though it's 15 years old, will definitely use the Smartseal products again when the drive next requires sealing
Used before. Excellent result. Very helpful staff..
Used before. Excellent result. Very helpful staff..
GREAT PRODUCT.FOLLOWED THE WEBSITE VIDEO AND HAVE GOT BACK THE APPEARANCE THAT WE HAD WHEN THE DRIVEWAY WAS LAID SEVERAL YEARS AGO.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND SMARTSEAL IMPRINTED CONCRETE SEALER
prompt delivery easy to apply quick drying and good finish. would definitely use this product again
I do garden maintenance mainly, but an elderly customer wanted his imprinted concrete driveway tidied up, I agreed & started by power washing the whole area first, then I took to google & found a number of companies that did sealers for imprinted concrete. I chose Smartseal as they were competitive, but mainly because they did 25L containers plus a brush small enough that would fit directly into the container, added bonus I feel. I bought 3 X 25L Silk, with a view to giving it 2 coats, I used 1.5 of the containers today. The product went on really well with the recommended brush, 3 hours non stop & the drive is transformed. It has a lovely new finish to it now, the customer is delighted. I shall return to give it a second coat next week, which shouldn't take as long! I would recommend this product.
Just like most other comments, this product has transformed my driveway which I had neglected, if your prepared to do a bit of hard work you can save yourself some money in not having to pay a contractor to do it
Not cheap but does exactly as it says on the tin
Delivered within a day and easy to apply. The on-line video was very useful & my drive / patio now looks as good as new. An excellent product.
Great product can't fault it
Needed to be done on 3 yr old imprinted driveway. Considered contractor but decided to do myself and glad I did . Job worked out well, easy to apply, quick to dry and re-coat. Came up good.
We inherited an imprinted concrete patio and driveway when we moved in 14 years ago. It hadn't been properly looked after and we had had it resealed by professionals 8 years ago, which made it look a bit better but not much. Much of the colour had worn away and the surface was pitted in places. Spoke to Nigel who gave me very detailed instructions on what to buy and how to apply it. The result has been a simply miraculous transformation. From looking a patchy mess the patio and driveway are now a consistent, rich dark slate grey, major damage is hardly noticeable and minor damage has disappeared. Even the builders doing next door's extension have remarked on the transformation! Really top quality products and sound advice from someone who clearly knows what they're doing. 2 days work and worked out at just over 3 quid a square metre. Brilliant!
Applied the sealer to my drive last Sunday as it was a good day, the results are amazing really pleased.Thanks
Applied two coats last Sunday the weather was perfect, the drive looks better than it did when first laid, this sealer is Fantastic Thanks
Fantastic! My drive and patio is almost 4 years old. I had some cowboys earlier this year to jet spray and re seal, but they used a water based sealant, and it hasn't even lasted a season! This product is excellent, it covers easily, and has made my drive look like it did the day it was layed. I decided to do it myself to save money, and following Smartseal instructions have created a perfect job. Thanks, and can't wait 'till next time it needs doing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
An excellent product with good covering and a first class finish,drive looks as good or if not better than when it was first laid.
This sealer is excellent .25 later covered a large drive with two coats and the result was fantastic . Easy to follow instructions on the product and the finish made my 4 year old drive as good as new. Ensure you wear a mask and gloves as product very toxic and recommend a brush for a more even result . Certainly worth the money as I think looks better than when first laid with an inferior product
Haven't used the product yet but it was a nice touch to receive a phone call to make sure I was ordering the correct products
Great product, easy to put on. Revived and freshened the drive and looks like new. Worth speaking to Smartsral in advance to discuss the best product for your needs. Thanks
My drive was 2 years old and cracking in places. The silk finish was excellent and gave a good appearance. Done three coats to use it all up. Very pleased with the outcome. Only tip I would give is avoid leaving puddles. Found a coarse roller was better for this than the broom.
Very pleased so far. I did not realise how tired our black drive was looking (4 yrs old) until I finished re-coating it. I put in the anti-slip compound but don't yet know how effective it will be, nor how long the coating will last. Good service.
used this product on my drive with the charcoal colour, my drive is pretty old concrete and this has made it look amazing I had it recoulored professionally last year and that was nowhere near as good as it is now that I have done it myself with smart seal products very happy
Used this product over the weekend. The drive was starting to look shabby and needed sealing after 6 years. Applied 2 coats and used a minute amount of brick coloured tint. The drive looks like new again. I still have enough to seal again in few years. So pleased :)
This is a great quality product,purchased the silk,it goes a long way,I gave my 80sq mtr drive way 2coats it looks great better than the original finish,would recommend this product,also used the anti-slip,.
My driveway now looks better than it did when new and the none-slip really works. I followed all your instructions and it came up great. Thanks
Hello Nigel Driveway has come up like brand new again. Thanks to Nigel who gave us some great advice before I ordered. Definitely a 5 star product from a 5 star company. Will definitely be using them again.
I bought the sample colour powder, and a 5 leters or smart seal. I am delighted with both products, one application, and my driveway looks as new. I shall shop at smartseal again.
Easy product to apply and dried in no time at all I mixed the anti slip to this and was easy too. My drive so as good as it did when it was new and is the first seal it's had in five years so two coats only did the job. Fantastic product well pleased.
Hi Nigel thank you for all your help, I did my drive on Saturday , and it looks very good, I have attached some photos of the Finished drive. so one's again thank you for your help and time , good product well recommended Mr Peter Buckley
Ordered the silk imprinted concrete sealer plus the slate grey tint. The original drive colour was classic grey, so I picked the colour that was the nearest to it, and it was spot on. The drive was in good condition, it just needed resealing with a bit of colour added. I ordered the 25ltr size, but only used 10ltr, and that was giving it two coats. I added two tablespoons of tint a little at a time, stirring all the time it was being added to the 10ltr's of sealer as advised by Smartseal. After the first coat was done, I added another two tablespoons to the 5ltr's that was left, and second coated it, and the colour is now like it was originally. Tip:- whilst my husband was brushing the sealer on I continually stirred the sealer to make sure the tint was distributed evenly. The drive looks fantastic, the sealer is a great product and I would highly recommend it. I have plenty of sealer and tint left for further use, and Smartseal advised me of where, and how to store it. Thanks for all your advise and quick delivery, unfortunately due to the weather conditions we have only just completed the reseal.
Excellent product and first class advice given, should rename the company Five Star.......Thankyou.
Everything about this product is excellent, from delivery to finish
Initially made contact with the Smartseal team from Saudi to request advice and information. Spoke to Luke and Nigel both very knowledgable and helpful. Ordered the materials online which was very easy, and then went to UK on vacation where all items had arrived. Pressure washed my drive and patio and then did a test using the color tint I purchased. Wasn't keen on the tint, so decided just to reseal. Applied two coats with the anti slip mixed into top (second) coat and delighted with the results. The surface looks as good as new. Would have no hesitation in recommending 'the Smartseal experience', particular thanks to Nigel. 5 stars from me guys, well done! Best regards Ian Farrow
Great service from Nigel, helpful all the way. The only thing I would suggest to any one considering sealing their driveway for the first time is don't seal it if a baking hot day is forecast even if you do start at 5 in the morning and finish by 9.30 as there is a risk of blistering and bubbling which can affect the the look of the finished product. Far better to do the job on a dry day without much sunshine. Products excellent though and so was the service.
Just like to say big thanks to smart seal my drive was looking awful and I give up on it :( but got told about this company and give them a go so glad I did my drive is now looking as good as new thanks guys :)
My five year old drive now looks like new. Sealer easy to use and in this warm weather was dry within two hours. Positive comments from neighbours on a new drive.
Excellent, quick delivery service. I used an old soft sweeping brush and tested a small area first to see how much sealant was needed - I had assumed 5m2/litre, and ordered 2x25 litres for two coats of a fairly large area (125m2?) - difficult to measure exactly as it's a complex shape - but I found it spread quite a bit better than that, and I used only one drum for the two coats. Because I had to apply the sealant in sections, my brush dried solid during "down" times, but seemed to soon become flexible enough when re-used. With hindsight I should have bought 3 or 4 cheap brush heads before I started. The finish (with "silk" sealant) is really brilliant - quite glossy enough. The drive was only installed a year ago (by people I would NEVER employ again) and the surface was looking tired. Don't know how well this new surface will last but I'm quietly confident it will last well.
Driveway looks like new after using Smartseal Silk Sealer. Highly recommended. Will not be using anything else in future
My imprinted concrete drive was laid 21 years ago, and apart from jet washing from time to time, I have done nothing to it. Consequently there were many cracks. I bought repair compound, colour compound, sealant and anti-slip additive, followed the instructions and was amazed by the result. It has saved me having to pay for a new drive, which I thought was going to be the only choice. It's not perfect, but I think if I re-apply the sealant in a few years time it will be better still. I shall certainly use your products in the future.
I have just recently used the Smartseal silk concrete sealer on my and my neighbours drive and we were both amazed at how good this product is it as transformed our drives from looking tired and worn out to looking brand new again,really easy to apply super fast drying time HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
The sealer applied to the surface very well, once cleaned as per instructions. The delivery service was very good.
Grey cobbled imprinted driveway was fifteen years old and looking a little tired despite coating it each year with Thompson's Concrete seal. This product is far superior and after applying two coats the driveway looks like new.Technical advice from Nigel on colouring, repairs etc. was really helpful and I would have no hesitation in recommending this product.
Was searching on the web for in printed concrete sealer & found Smart Seal so glad I found them Nigel & the team were very helpful I sent pictures of my drive Nigel advised what to use & sent a very helpful short video two later the sealer arrived & I can only say that the drive looks better than the day it was laid great product & strongly recommend it as it makes your concrete look like new again Thanks Smart Seal
Excellent product. Excellent service. Also Nigel who I spoke to was very helpful and obliging in giving me some useful tips.
Used this product on Saturday to seal and tint x2 driveways and mainly only doing roof & wall coatings this was my first go at doing this, well what can I this is best product out there by far for sealing and tinting pattern imprinted concrete, seen loads done before and they never look like mine did, two very happy customers, in fact I already have more work from the ones I done on Saturday, not to mention the full help and support of Nigal Blake on a Saturday morning, you just don't get good products and full support like this anywhere else, SMARTSEAL A GOOD FRIENDLY RELIABLE COMPANY
After 10 years of North East weather and general neglect, our imprinted concrete was looking decidedly shabby. After searching the web for possible refurbishment solutions we came across SmartSeal, after speaking to the ever helpful Nigel Blake who suggested I send him some photos of our drive, he informed us of what was required to do the job ourselves. We did the job on Friday 16/05/14 with Nigel being at the other end of the phone and providing expert advice on each process. Nigel Blake is an asset to SmartSeal as his customer service skills are fantastic, many thanks Nigel. Although we are considering giving the drive a second coat we are thrilled with how it looks presently. Can certainly recommend SmartSeal and will definitely return to use their products.

Ordering couldn't have been simpler. Delivery was very quick. Seal went on very easily with a 4" brush and brought back the original colour. Very pleased with the outcome and won't hesitate to use again next time. The only negative is that it doesn't come in a 10ltr can.
Excellent product the coverage was good better than the estimates on the tin it was easy to apply and dried well I could do two applications in one day. The finish is good and doesn't look unaturally shiny, I would definitely use the product again.
Great product
5 out of 5, done a great job on a faded drive, looks like new, think I might need to apply a non slip coating next time, will definitely use Smartseal, and recommend to anyone.
Recently bought sealer, repair fluid,colour and anti slip to finally deal with my badly installed impressed concrete drive. Made a nuisance of myself ringing the team at Smart Seal for advice and plucked up courage to do the job last week-end. Results; It will never be perfect but it is much better than the last two 'professional' reseals that were done. Thanks to all the guys at Smart Seal for their patience and good advice. I now find that my estimating skill were way out and have arranged with them to return a full can of sealant that was not needed. Once again they have been very accommodating in helping me with the return. Good products and good customer service. THANKS
Excellent service,excellent product is easy to apply and gives a professional result in a short period of time 5 stars.
Nigel Just thought I'd show you the final result of my drive having applied the final coat (with anti slip) today. The photos are before and after. We are really pleased with the end result and have already received some envious glances and comments from neighbours, as you said we would. Thanks again for talking me through the process. Your unsolicited phone call at 6.30pm one evening was above and beyond the call of duty. All the best Alan Walker
Prompt delivery, applied two coats in an afternoon, dried perfectly and looks great.
just covered approx. 90 sq.mt. and my driveway looks great so decided to give it a second coat. It probably didn't need it but I had material left and added to this to complete two coats. Everyone who sees it comments on how fantastic it looks. I must compliment Smart Seal on their excellent prompt delivery and ordering service. Second to none !!!
This stuff does exactly what it says on the tin,very easy to use and my drive has returned to its original colour and finish. I was very impressed with the technical help and advice given, I was about to by the colour additive which Smart Seal could have sold me but they obviously put customer service on a par with profit as he informed me after asking a few simple question that I would not need it, which was true. Excellent product and service.
Good stuff, I'd happily use again. Staff very helpful and quick delivery. What's not to like?
Ordered smart seal for my imprinted drive and forgot to order the anti grip. Made a phone call the next day and got a reply that same day even though it was weekend and bank holiday weekend at that which I was very impressed with and they added the addition to my order without the need for any additional postage. Fantaastic customer service and the product was just as good. With great thanks and I will of course pass on the good word about your company.
1st class product, does what it says on the tin!
Nigel, I have used your product at bank holiday & I am most impressed. the drive is actually better than when it was first laid 3 years ago, great product
Ordered silk finish sealant to revitalise my 6 year old drive. After a thorough jet wash and two coats of sealant it is as good as new. Application of the product was straightforward and I am pleased with the result, the colour of the drive is restored to that of when first laid and I am glad that I chose silk finish which suits the finish I was hoping for.
Very good service. Product was easy to use just brushing on. The drive now looks like it has only just been laid
I am not only impressed with the product but especially the service. Ordered Mon night delivered Thurs morning brilliant!
Really the greatest help adn advice one can get for the restoration of their imprinted concrete drives and forecourts. Nigel Blake was extremely helpful from day one when i had asked for advice via the internet. Gear ordered on day arriving the next. Carried out the instructions given over the phone and within 5 days the whole of the imprinted concrete was as good as new when it was laid 20 years ago. FANTASTIC HELP. GO THEM FOR SERVICE. MY WIFE AND I ARE IN OUR VERY LATE 70S BUT MANAGED OVER 4 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE JOB.
Used the silk finish which has quite a shine to it ,very easy to use,put it on with a roller beautiful finish better than when it was new 18 months ago .only down side is the pungent smell .Next day delivery excellent .
Does what it says on the tin, easy to use, got a new drive now
I just wanted to comment how impressed I was with the service I have received over the past few weeks during the course of ordering sealer and tint. I have been dealing with Howard King who has been consistently helpful and very patient when discussing my requirements and options. Such service is vey rare these days and Howard made it all very painless. Product recommendation and delivery was excellent. We are all guilty of being very quick to complain so it is refreshing to be able to comment favourably. Well done Smartseal and Howard. I would have no hesitation in recommending you. I am happy for you to use this email in any way you see fit Regards David Palmer
I purchased the silk sealer and coated the driveway with two coats of the product using a yard brush. The result was fantastic, the drive looks like new again!
I applied it with a roller, which was very quick, made it easy to ensure uniform coverage and left no brush marks. Second coat was quicker still. Drive restored to its original condition.
Second time I have used this product, this time with colouring. Good advice from smartseal as the slate grey does not need a lot of colouring adding. Used the broom this time to keep the product mixed and although I used more than using a roller the finish is excellent.
excellent product i bought the sealer and colour additive, easy to mix and apply if its not raining drive looks as good as new rating this product and delivery service as a 5
Brilliant drive and patio look like new .patio is impression that looks like decking and now using the brown powder in the sealer the wooden grain looks better than when it was originally done,delivery time was early and the very next day ,thanks.
A bit of help on quantities from Nigel helped. Does what it says. Driveway looks much better.
I required this product for my patio and driveway and which also required a bit of repairing here and there. With the help of Nigel at smartseal and a couple of other products I purchased from them, I now have a patio and driveway which looks as good as it did when first done about 4 years ago. Thankyou nigel and the rest of smartseal staff who dealt with my order.
Firstly I would like to thank Nigel Blake and his team for all the advice I was given. Our driveway now looks as good as it did when first laid. We will certainly be revisiting SmartSeal the next time we reseal. Thanks once again.
Wow! What a product, what a finish! My imprinted concrete drive was laid 10 years ago and hasn't been touched since. I applied three coats of the silk sealant and the drive looks better than when it was originally laid. Perfect finish!!! Fantastic support and excellent advice throughout from the Smartseal team, especially Nigel. Thanks Guys!! 5 out of 5!!
I had 125 sq m to reseal after 7 years. I was advised I would need 3 x 25L tins. I bought 2 and only used 1 for two coats. Seems to go further than advertised. Applied it with brooms from Pound shop which could be thrown away after. Its done a good job, looks as new. Used the silk finish which is quite glossy anyway, think gloss would be too much.
The service was excellent as was the availability of good advice over the 'phone. The sealer is excellent and my drive looks splendid
As always excellent service and advice. The product was excellent as were the anti slip and colour additives. Easy to apply and the result drew many admiring comments and I suspect new customers for SmartSeal.
Superb product, easily & quickly applied, completely delighted with overall finish. Prompt delivery, and excellent, friendly technical advice. Overall rating = 5 The sealer was applied to a pattern imprinted concrete drive & patio (approx. 120m sq. m) that was only laid 18 months ago, but unfortunately we think the contractor only applied one coat of sealer, since the colour & overall appearance had faded somewhat. Following addtional sealer application it has all come up like new!
It is simple to use, "does what it says on the tin". Have applied the first sealer coat and tint, just need another dry day to apply the top coat with the anti-slip addative. One good tip, do not wear black rubber sole shoe/boots when applying the sealer, unless you are good at keeping your feet well out of the way unless you want black footprints in your finish.
Excellant products,did what it said on the tin. Driveway now looks as good as new. Will be back for more products. 5 star product. Small problem with delivery.
excellent advice given by Nigel to begin with, so i knew exactly what i needed to buy to complete the job, really fast delivery to northern ireland, and when we got decent weather to do the sealer we were left with a beautiful patio area, even better than when it was done orginally, would recommend smartseal and would use them again, and thanks Nigel for your great advice.
Customer service was fantastic, I was called by SmartSeal on my mobile several times prior to dispatch of item/s and the advise was accurate and excellent. The 25L tin of Silk Sealer has left my drive looking like new. Second time I have used this product (last purchased in 2009) product and service was same then. I'm sure I will use SmartSeal again in the future.
My drive has been brought back to life after using the SILK sealer.Easy to apply and I would like to thank you for the the help & advise on delivering my order so quickly that it made my project so easy.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the product and advice you gave. "Did exactly what it says on the tin" It looks as good as the day it was put down. Kind Regards

The delivery was really fast and once I had used the product the driveway looked like new. Brilliant, I would recommend it!!
Better than expected service,online video really helpfull,our drive looks like new again after years of neglect.
Just a quick message to say how impressed I am with the recent experience I have received from Smartseal. From making my first enquiry with a very pleasant and knowledgeable gent to placing my order was a complete joy. I ordered my sealant on Tuesday and as promised, it arrived on the Friday. The product is top quality, my driveway looks fantastic. I will definitely be dealing with you again in the future. Many thanks for your brilliant customer service. I would definitely recommend you to family, friends, neighbours and strangers!
Really impioressed witht he standard of service and quality. I wanted to say a big thank you to Nigel for his help - before and after sale. I completed my drive and it looks new. Despite many other traders telling me I has to lose my colour Nigel was correct and I have managed to restore my exisiting colour. The products were brilliant and did the job (apart from the broom which moults like a cat). Nigel and the sales team were very helpful as well as professional, many thanks
After neglecting my drive for a number of years I decided this year I would attempt to bring it back to life. After watching the online video and speaking to the helpful staff I placed my order, the items were quickly delivered. The transformation is remarkable it is as good as new in fact better than new in some places thanks to the re-tinting. I only wish I had taken photos. . I will definitely be using your company in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know. Man thanks.
Thanks Nigel for all the help and advice.First class products and a first class service.Drive looks fantastic.
I was impressed by the amount of information and guidance provided on the web-site, but after I placed my order, I was contacted to query the quantities. It was immediately clear that Smart Seal wanted to ensure that I made the best possible use of their products. Their advice was excellent and freely given (from someone who obviously know what he was doing - and understood the problems that could arise). All this lead to a reduction in my order and an immediate refund of the savings. The products arrived in good time (in quality containers). Absolutely brilliant service! Thank you!
My drive was re sealed 2 years ago with a cheaper seal and needed doing again this year.I chose smartseal after a friend reccomended it . My drive has been resealed with SmartSeal and I can tell already that it is a superior product to that used in my last attempt.The drive looks great and several people have asked what I have used and I have been pleased to tell them
Excellent product with excellent customer service, advice delivery. No complaints at all. 5
First class product, first class service,
So impressed, great customer service and technical advice. It is a fantastic product, the drive looks better than when it was new. Have recommended to friends and family. Will use again!
Excellent service - product arrived next day. Instructions for use very clear and has produced an excellent result. Have had compliments paid about my driveway and have recommended this product to them.
I had doubts about doing the reseal job myself but was very pleased with the products supplied and the cost was a quarter what I had been quoted professionally. Very helpful advice from your tech. dept. regards tints and seal finishes. I was even advised not to buy the amount I originally calculated , but to use less. All in all excellent service and will be back when I need to recoat.
I have recently repaired my printed concrete driveway using your repair products, my driveway looks almost like new. I would like to thank Nigel and his team for their patients and expert advice. Overall I found Smartseal staff to be very professional and would recommend them them to anyone.
excellent products gave a very good result on our imprinted driveway. The videos to watch were very helpful.
I have just completed my project of renovating my imprinted concrete driveway. I would like to thank you for the excellent products you supplied,and the excellent after sales advise and quick response to the queries i raised during my project. Being a businessman myself with a large customer base i am a great advocate of looking after the customer before and after a sale has been made. The service provided by yourselves and your company has been first class,the speed of delivery of any item ordered is exceptional. I will definitely be using your company in the future and will recommend you to everyone. Once again a big thank you for exceptional products and exceptional customer service.
Nigel, Just a brief message to thank you for all your help and advice regarding the resealing of my driveway. I am pleased to say that I managed to dodge all the rain and have finished the job and it looks great.
Hi Nigel Further to our telephone conversation and emails of 25/26 July I am pleased to say that having followed your advice my driveway now looks as good as new; in fact my wife says it's better than when new! My only disappointment is the translucent silicone sealant which in my opinion is too white and prominent against the grey concrete. I didn't actually have enough sealant to finish the job so I bought another brand locally and whilst is said translucent on the tube it turned out to be more like clear and I must say it blends in much better. So it's now a case of removing and resealing I'm afraid. That's life eh! Never the less I am still very grateful for your help and extremely pleased with your excellent service and products. Regards Phil
Excellent product, excellent service, and very helpful advise.
Fantastic product my drive now looks like new, what a finish, I am so pleased. I was dubious about using a broom to apply the product but it was so easy and straightforward. First class service and helpful, friendly advice when I needed it. Please note that I also used the Smartseal anti slip and a grey colour additive with this product and my comments apply to all three products Thankyou
After 5 or 6 years of constant use the printed concrete driveway was showing signs of wear as the original sealer had worn through and the colour of the concrete was showing through so a call was made to Smart Seal giving the details and the size of the area we sent photos of the drive and in return we wore advised on the amount of sealer the correct colouring agent and how to clean and apply the sealer . The order was placed the complete kit arrived in a couple of days . After the prep work and on a worm day the sealer was applied and then a week later a second coat was also applied and now the drive looks shinny and new again , The sealer is so easy to apply and the Finnish is amazing i am very pleased with the whole service and i would recommend Smart Seal .
I just want to send you some feedback on what i can only describe as amazing service and an amazing product!!! The 25L of pattern imprinted concrete sealer arrived promptly and i applied it onto the driveway and it has brought it up as good as new, i was so impressed at the ease of use and the results that i got. I will definately be recommending this product and your services to anyone that asks!
I recently made an enquiry re help to correct a badly installed imprinted concrete drive. The surface had flaked badly exposing uncoloured concrete and had cracks in several places. I spoke to Nigel who requested photographs of the drive and he then gave me excellent advice and identified the products and quantities I would need. Without any guarantee of success, Nigel felt confident that I would be able to get the drive back to approximately 90% of where it should be. During the period of time that I spent carrying out the repair work, I rang Nigel at each stage for his advice. He was very patient with me and very knowledgeable with the products. He also kept his word every time to ring back if he was busy when I called. From start to finish, a very professional experience, with a friendly and patient attitude. Nigel hoped for a 90% result, he has certainly achieved that. Compared to how the drive looked more like 200%. Your products all worked easily and as they were supposed to. My compliments and thanks to Smart Seal and especially Nigel
The imprinted sealer was very good but the sweeping brush did not work very well as the bristles came out into the sealer i found that a roller was better for the job
Our pattern imprinted driveway started to look faded and had small sections of exposed concrete from a couple of harsh winters and general wear and tear. I found Smartseal on the internet and decided to order the repair compound, colour tint and silk sealant. The staff answered a couple of queries I had by e-mail the same day and the goods arrived within two days. I found the video on Smartseal's website invaluable and we followed the instructions to the letter. We have now given our driveway three coats and I can only say it looks better now than when it was newly laid ! Neighbours have been coming over to admire it ! I can't recommend Smartseal enough for their products and customer service and I will be using your products again when the need arises. I will also recommend you to friends. It's just a pity we can't upload photos on this website to show potential buyers just how good the end result is.
very good sealer and covers a large area.
This is one of the best sealer's on the market. After working for many years with protective driveway sealer's, 'Pristine Paving' has found the SmartSeal products to give fantastic results every time.
Excellent product and very good advice given. Would not hesitate to purchase from SmartSeal again.
Having just had my old imprinted concrete drive pressure washed and looking clean but well worn I thought I ought to seal it. I found your product on the internet but ordered over the phone (you can't ask questions of a web page). The advice I got was first class and ensured a good result. The only thing they got wrong was the delivery time - it arrived just 24 hours after I placed the order!
Have used this product several time and it delivers excellent results.
Great product, very easy to use and apply, drys quick, did as instructed re-aplied 2nd coat after 4hrs, the 25ltr container allowed me to do 2 coats of sealer on approx 75 sq mts, my 4 year old pattern concrete looks brand new now. Tip - make sure to read all the instuctions before using the product 1st, my only mistake was I did it on a hot day and got the odd bubble forming on the joints where the sealer was at its thickest, no problem really. All-In-all very Happy, Great Service :-)
1st class customer support really helpful making sure i ordered the right products and excellent product brought my drive back to new
Nigel gave all the advice needed to do the job.Fist class service and great product , also my drive looks like new!!! Many thanks
first class product would highly recommend it .
Imprinted concrete drive in need of restoration. Smarkseal website very good plus easy to order and fast delivery, quality products (cleaner and sealant) coupled with friendly expert advice, and a little hard work by myself equals a first class end result. Well done and thank you.
The real McCoy !!. 10 year old Patio now looks like new. Excellent product and service. Thanks
Good advice. Good product. Good job all round. Thanks GB 5 Star
First class product to go with the first class customer support. Real easy to apply and fast drying too. Would highly recommend this product and company.
I was wary of initial results of patching my roadsalt damaged imprinted drive but after a further full coating the results are very good.My drive is 18 years old and has been revived by this product.
Nigel gave me detailed technical advice which was accurate and extremely helpful for my project. The sealeant arrived the next day and the pool surround and patios look as good as new, brilliant result, brilliant service, Thank you.
Very quick delivery. Brilliant product - my drive looks better than when it was first put down!
Just done my drive whith smartseal silk with antislip adertive, I am highly delited with the finish it lookes like a new drive and it's been done approx 5 years I will certanly recomend smartseal. The service delivery and advice I was given was second to none.
Delighted with the end result, looks like new. Excellent customer service, packed full of expert advice.
Gives consistent high quality finish. Keeps my clients happy what more could I want!
Absolutely fabulous result the driveway looks really good. I also used the colouring and the anti slip additives with excellent results. I also can't speak too highly of the support and advice received from Andrew and his colleagues. I have already been asked by a neighbour for details of the SmartSeal products.
The finished drive looks a good as new - not bad for an 18 year old drive with lots of spalling concrete that was last resealed about 12 years ago. The service from SmartSeal was excellent - good advice and fast delivery. The colour tint, repair material and and anti-slip all worked well.
When ordering over the web, you don't expect customer serviice like this! Nigel called me and verified my order with me - making sure everything was correct. Gave me full instructions and advice on how to apply the sealer, how to mix the colour tint etc. He even gave me his number so my husband could check if he had any questions for Nigel. Customer service - 10 out of 10! (and the product's good too! :D The drive now looks as good as new!)
Great product, works a treat
Excellent service and prompt delivery,advice given much appreciated.Pleased with the result,would recommend the sealant and Smartseal to anyone looking for a diy solution to renewing the appearance of their printed concrete.
The drive looks like new again. Product was easy to apply and dried quickly - can't fault it.
Excellent service, sealent and tint arrived promptly, did the front side and patio area, and it all looks as good as it did when first laid 5 years ago. Fabulous product and would certainly recommend it. Many Thanks. Rated 5
I would like to say we were extremely pleased with the sealant and the service. The gentleman on the phone was very pleasant and extremely helpful, the products arrived very promptly and the sealant was very easy to apply. Excellent results. Thank you for your help. We will definitely be using the product again.
looks like new restored colours back excellent product thanks will use nothing else but the best
Really pleased with advice and support from Smartseal and especially the prompt delivery. The sealant was easy to apply and covered the area expected with no difficulty. Had a number of passersby comment on the result and a number asked for information on where to buy sealant so directed them to the Smartseal website. Would recommend the sealant and Smartseal to anyone looking for a diy solution to renewing the appearance of their printed concrete drive.
Thanks for a quick and eficient ordering and delivery service, used smartseal sealant yesterday. It is easy to apply and dries quickly , I will apply another coat as my drive was very neglected, this product has brought it back to life and made a very good job of it. Thanks again D W Walton.
my drive was looking sad after 3 years of traffic...it came up like new after the sealer was applied...an easy job with a soft yardbrush. coverage was about 25% better than suggested, so Ive got some left for the future. thanks for the service.
This product is amazingly easy to apply and a second coat can be added after a couple of hours. I applied it with a couple of old dustpan brushes that I wanted shot of. No good after but didn't matter. Brought up the drive beautifully. Will happily use SmartSeal again. Their customer service was second to none. Many thanks.
cant believe how new looking my driveway is now colours are really bright again many thanks
Thanks loads ,the driveway looks great – will tell friends who have imprinted concrete to call you
Many thanks for supplying me with your first class products so quickly and on the day I requested them. Your advice on what I should use and how they should be used was really helpful which has resulted in obtaining a superbly finished driveway.
Would like to thank Smartseal for excellent technical advice,and a wonderful delivery service. I followed the instructions given and the product worked just as I was told it would. Great result.
I ordered last Thursday 25 litres of Silk Finish sealant for our imprinted concrete large patio area and it arrived before 09.00 hrs today (Tuesday). We have this afternoon just finished applying two coats and we are absolutely delighted with the result. It looks as good as new which is wonderful considering it was laid over 5 yrs ago and not been treated since then. We have now got the incentive to do our driveway & front of the house which is cobblestone printed concrete. This needs a bit of slate grey colour to mix with the silk finish clear sealant we have left. I have today ordered the colour and look forward to treating the front cobblestone area. I want to thank Smartseal for the prompt and friendly service & technical support which is most helpful and very much appreciated. When we have done the front of our house, we will send you photos of the back and front printed concrete areas. Many thanks
Hi There Used the Smartseal 'Silk' sealer on Sunday, it has left the drive looking like new, very easy to apply. Ordered another tin for the front and side concrete paths, great product .
When a well-known "professional" driveway company made a mess of my driveway and patio, Smartseal came to the rescue with a high-quality range of products and excellent technical advice both before and during application. My driveway and patio have never looked as good - truly amazing results. Well done Smartseal.
The product with the tint and non slip went on very well and dried quicker than we expected ( about 2 hrs) although we had some bubbles especially along the imprinted creases in the driveway. What level of tint to add is though a little trial & error but we overall have a quality finish
Goes on a treat and restores the look completely. Whats more, Smartseal contacted me before shipping to make sure I was getting exactly what I needed. Excellent service.
Good quality products. FANTASTIC technical support. Very satisfied customer. Terry Harper.

Step-by-Step Video Guide
Imprinted Concrete Sealer WET LOOK/SATIN Finish
Best patterned concrete sealer for Driveways and Patios.
Our patterned imprinted concrete sealer in a WET LOOK or 'satin' finish will provide a highly protective barrier for pressed concrete driveways and patios. This will help to slow down surface erosion on a concrete driveway or patio and help it retain the original colour of the surface for longer. The WET LOOK imprinted concrete sealer can transform the look of old imprinted concrete surfaces.
An anti-slip additive can also be added to the sealer if necessary, especially if a driveway or patio is on a slope.
Approximate Coverage
4 to 6m² per litre per coat (dependent on condition)
Technical
PREPARATION & APPLICATION
Make sure the surface of the imprinted concrete driveway or patio is totally dry before applying the sealer. Once the imprinted concrete has been pressure cleaned leave it for 1-3 days for the concrete to completely dry out. Once dry, sweep the surface of the concrete to remove any dust, dirt or other contaminants.
Apply the imprinted concrete sealer with a soft broom. Apply the 1st coat and then leave to dry for 1-2 hours depending on ambient temperature. Once dry or tacky to touch, apply a 2nd coat for long lasting protection to the concrete. Avoid applying the imprinted concrete sealer in direct sunlight or temperatures above 25 degrees centigrade. Do not apply if rain is forecast within 3 hours of application.
We do not recommend putting de-icing salts directly on Smartseal block paving or concrete sealers. Salt chemically reduces the temperature at which water freezes and may result in water penetration into the concrete. Any subsequent freezing could result in the ‘seal’ being broken by the expansion of water once it freezes.
TECHNICAL & TEST DATA
Has been tested by the TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) and certified that it meets the SRV (Skid Resistance Value) for all categories of paving for local authority pedestrian areas and when heavily trafficked is suitable for special applications where risks of skidding are high as laid down in the UK Highway Authorities Tender Specification. Copies available on request.
HEALTH & SAFETY
Flammable liquid. Do not smoke. Keep application area well ventilated. Wear respirator when applying. Store in a cool place. Flash point 42°C (Abel-Closed Cup). Refer to the Health & Safety Data Sheet for further information.
