Tidying up a patchwork concrete driveway

    My driveway is a patchwork of different colours of cement as people have done their own repairs over the years before I bought the house.

    Is it possible to buy some sort of "paint or sealant" that I can spray it with that will make it look more uniform and will resist all weather?

    You could try garage floor paint but it would probably look just as ****e without the correct prep which would be completely starting again and then there'd be no need.

    Hopefully someone else knowna a quick fix.

    Nope , best get it broken up and start again if you want it to look neat and tidy.

    You can buy outdoor levelling/ smoothing compounds, put a few mm skim over the whole lot.

    You might achieve a uniformed colour.

    I used that indoors and it works great but was advised against using it outdoors as it will crack up with weather extremes.
