Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Weirdo. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about restoring a Pebblecrete driveway.

There are no products that I am aware of designed for coating over and sealing Pebblecrete. I would imagine that it would be a clear epoxy mixture, and I suspect you'd need to enlist the services of a professional with access to those types of products to complete the job.

Let me mention @Jewelleryrescue to see if they have any thoughts.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Weirdo

There is no GT all your stones will stay in place forever but the following product will lock the stones in as well as possible, This sealer designed for agrate and will protect the surface from wear,.

Now your pebbles are looking like they need a good hi pressure wash to pre clean them by all means do this but not at point blank range as all your pebbles might wash out. Hold the wand up higher so you get a clean but not cutting stones out.

No need to brush all the loose pebble crete stones off as formulation will glue them down some what. Some may still come lose.

Application Guide:

For New Exposed Aggregate Surfaces:

Etch the uncoated surface with Nu-EcoSafe Etch or Nu-EcoSafe Ultra Etch.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of efflorescence.
Apply a diluted first coat of Agreseal mixed with up to 50% PaveCoat Thinners.
Apply a second coat of undiluted Agreseal.

For Existing Exposed Aggregate:

Determine if the existing aggregate has been previously sealed.
If the existing sealer is incompatible or requires removal, use Nu-EcoSafe Strip Industrial to strip it completely.
If the existing sealer is compatible, reactivate it with Reactivating Solvent.
Clean the surface thoroughly with Nu-EcoSafe Degreaser.
Etch the uncoated surface with Nu-EcoSafe Etch or Nu-EcoSafe Ultra Etch.
Apply two coats of Agreseal, following the same procedure as for new surfaces.
