Why Repair Potholes? & Our Process
We believe in transparency. Here is exactly how we handle every repair job to ensure quality.
<!-- WHY FIX POTHOLES NOW? -->
1. SAFETY FIRST: Protects vehicles from tyre, rim, and suspension damage.
2. PREVENT DAMAGE: Small cracks let water in, destroying the road base.
3. PROPERTY VALUE: A smooth road improves the look of your complex or estate.
<!-- THE PAINTCO REPAIR METHOD -->
Step 1 [PREPARE]: We square-cut the edges to create a strong, clean joint.
Step 2 [CLEAN]: We remove all dirt, water, and loose debris.
Step 3 [PRIME]: We apply a sticky bitumen "Tack Coat" so the new tar bonds.
Step 4 [FILL]: We fill the hole with professional Hot Mix Asphalt.
Step 5 [COMPACT]: We use industrial rollers to pack it down smooth and solid.
Pothole & Painting FAQs
Answers to your common questions about road repairs and painting.
1. How long does a pothole repair take to dry?
We use Hot Mix Asphalt which cools and hardens very quickly. In most cases, you can drive over the repaired area within 2 to 4 hours after compaction is complete.
2. Do you repair potholes in residential driveways?
Yes, we specialize in residential driveway repairs, including tar surfacing and patching for complexes, estates, and private homes.
3. Why is “Hot Mix” asphalt better than “Cold Bags”?
Cold bags (DIY mix) stay soft and often pop out after rain. We use industrial Hot Mix Asphalt that is applied at high temperatures and compacted with heavy machinery, creating a permanent, waterproof bond.
4. Do you seal the edges of the repair?
Yes. After filling and compacting the pothole, we seal the edges with hot bitumen to prevent water from seeping back underneath, which stops the pothole from forming again.
5. Can you resurface my entire driveway?
Yes, if your driveway has too many cracks or potholes, we can offer a full resurfacing service or applying a rejuvenation spray to extend its life.
