Sealer Repair Fluid for removing whiteness on Imprinted Concrete and Block Paved Surfaces
If the solvent based imprinted concrete or block paving sealers have been applied in conditions when the surface is damp this can lead to problems. Surface whiteness is the most common issue and appears over time if the sealer has been applied when the surface is damp.
Smartseal sealer repair fluid should be used when problems like patchy whiteness have appeared on the surface of existing imprinted concrete or block paved driveways and patios. Surface whiteness, peeling or flaking sealer are common issues that are easily corrected using sealer repair fluid.
Smartseal Sealer Repair Fluid will restore existing imprinted concrete sealer or block paving sealer and clear surface whiteness from imprinted concrete and block paved surfaces.
- Coverage ratio: 3 - 4 m² per litre
Sealer repair fluid is a product designed to repair incorrectly applied sealer which is lifting or sealer which has reacted with moisture during the drying process. For imprinted concrete it should be liberally applied to the affected area, left for a couple of minutes and then worked into the surface vigorously with a soft broom until the sealer goes "tacky" under your broom. This will show you have 'softened' the sealer and you then allow it to re-bond to the concrete by leaving it.
For removal of surface whiteness on block paving repeat as instructions above, but with block paving be careful not to disturb the jointing sand when working the sealer repair fluid into the surface of the blocks.

Q: Hi I’ve just sealed my printed concrete drive but I’ve noticed some blobs & runs, would the sealer repair fluid flatten these out? Do you apply this in the same way as sealing or use a paint bursh? Thanks
A: The sealer repair fluid can be used to soften up existing sealer. A brush can be used to smooth out areas of excess sealer or air bubbles.
Q: Will the repair fluid be correct to use on concrete imprint drive that has white patches and flaking areas. Also what preparation of these areas is required. Regards Ian

I seal my driveway every 3 to 4 years but in the interim if its looking a bit dull I use the sealer repair fluid to re melt the surface and it looks like new again and so easy to brush on. I wouldn't recommend a roller for this or applying the sealer or repair fluid just use a stiff brush preferably one purchased from smart seal.. You don't need to use a lot of the repair fluid as it goes a long way. Brilliant stuff.
This is really good stuff. I seal my drive every 3 to 4 years but in between when the surface loses its sheen and looks a little dull I use the sealer repair fluid. You don't need alot and it brushes in very quickly bringing the colour back to life.
The whole imprinted concrete patio had turned white after applying Smartseal Sealer and Colour in May 2021, so doesn't seem a long-lasting product. However, needed to get rid of the white stuff, so used up the last bit of my previous Smartseal repair fluid, - but one coat was not enough, so had to send off for another 5 Litres. The fresh stuff seemed a lot better and produced a re-colouring of the surface. The next step is to re-apply the last of my earlier Sealant/Colour mixtures, - hope they have stayed fresh enough!
