Resurfacing is the application of a new top surface to an item, usually to repair scratches or to change the colour. Resurfacing is used where local repairs are not possible. Typically the resurfacing technique is used for items such as baths, sinks, tiles, anything in the kitchen or bathroom.
The process of overlaying a road with new blacktop, or bituminous concrete. Often called an overlay. This new layer is usually 1.5" to 4" thick. Often resurfacing is preceeded with milling.
This involves the application of a layer of bituminous material, either asphalt or bitumen macadam. On carriageways it is usually laid by machine and, depending on the layer thickness, can add considerable strength to the road as well as providing a good running surface. On footways, it is usually hand laid.
