Hi guys I have a 500 x 500 patch repair on a pathway previously been shuttered. Can I use post Crete if I dig out a couple of inches to give strength. I have tried post Crete for previous things and failed. But the supplier assured me that is just concrete. If channel is deep enough will be fine. Just want a quick repair and it's only small so saves hassle. Any advice would be great. Thanks
hi, i think you answered your own question there. Postcrete (or equivalent) is too fine in terms of granules for your path. I would get a "mix in the bag" from B&Q etc. which is designed for things like this. Take all lose bits out of the hole. mix up the concrete. wet the edges of the hole with water and pour in the mix. Scrape off any excess with a straight edge using either side as a guide. Then smooth off to a finish similar to the path
Nope. It will not last, it's not designed for that. Ideally you need 100m depth & use proper concrete & not too wet, tamped down, & don't over work it.
Thanks both. I thought as much. I even told the shop assistant. It won't work. Then he says its concrete of course it will work. So now I have to take them back lol. I will look in B@q that's helpful forgot about them.
You can buy Mastercrete cement 10kg in Wickes @ £3:99p & a bag or two of ballast @ £1:99p each, will make better concrete than the all in & cement premix you can buy.
Only for pedestrian use kiab. So I think master Crete will do. I'm still punching myself for buying post Crete. I'm hoping they take them back
