Car park resurfacing renews the wearing surface of an existing car park: either an overlay, laying a new surface course on top after repairs and a bond coat, or plane and inlay, milling off the worn layer and replacing it at the same level.

Bond coat sprayed on the prepared surface
New surface course, typically 40 mm, laid by paver and rolled
Ironwork raised to the new level
Lining and markings renewed
