How To Repair A Chip or Hole In Concrete

[@ronalonzo3976]

Just a recommendation look for a color match sand to put on afterwards while it drys to better match existing concrete...it works great and really hides the patch repair.

[@Salmomlox]

This was very helpful and thank you for the tips. You explain how to repair so eloquently. Thanks again. Have an awesome day!

[@aaron74]

I actually wonder if a good 2-ton epoxy application that would "mortar" that little chip of concrete to the sidewalk might not be easier, faster, and cheaper?

[@hassanbazzi3545]

Perfect work. I would love for you to explain the cold joint problem that even home inspectors miss. It is troublesome when one invest on a home that can be real trouble down the road. Thank you for sharing

[@keith2498]

I self taught the sand blend when I was repairing the foundation corners of a house we flipped. Blended sand and clay soil for perfect match.

[@joewilson5452]

The only thing I would do differently is to let the bonding adhesive dry first, then apply the patch immediately after it dries. Otherwise, perfect repair. I am currently patching a sidewalk with several cracks a broken pieces,.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Yeah, thanks for the feedback. I saw on the instructions it said to let it setup for thicker repairs. Good call out 👍

[@Liz.R]

L:276 I learned about bonding adhesive today. It exists. Thx

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

You bet

[@DrBDIY]

Good job, Going to give it a try,

[@HugeBusch]

Very good video. Thank you sir!

Could you not have patched the chip in with the cement mix? Or would that be too weak of a bond and it would just fall off again? If so, is there a way to securely bond it back in place?

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

I like how the quick setting cements sets up fast so it will hold the shape without issues.

[@anothersomebody8195]

The mix is not strong enough to hold as a glue. You could try gray jb weld as the glue maybe. I don't like the gray patches look without the gravel in it.

[@dan242242]

I have a slightly larger chip, could I just use a concrete adhesive and glue it back in place?

[@valeriek5020]

Can I sprinkle sand over that.

Matching Summit colors is the hardest thing

[@stevewells9778]

Hi I’m curious. Right there at the joint between the two slabs/sections should the appropriate sealant be placed here too, after the repair is dry. I’m going to be repairing some small chips and also noticed I have to redo the sealant that has eroded over time. Plan on using the tremko non sag for the joint along the house where the cement meets the brick. Any advice is appreciated Thanks

[@peoplethesedaysberetarded]

Looks good, Scott!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Thanks!

How do you repair uneven surfaces? Not just small areas like that, but a big slab in my driveway?

[@patrickursomanno8861]

Would you be able to use the vinyl based cement for the whole chip on a step

[@Sylvan_dB]

How long do you expect that repair to last? I've seen a lot of repairs and either do not see the good ones, or they all fail. Maybe climate?

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Who cares? If it fails again, repair it again. No big deal.

[@fredrubble4305]

It’s going to fail.

[@REDNECKCHANNEL]

NICE

[@RJFerret]

Huh, it was pre-internet era when I poured cement against existing and cleaning the surface with muriatic acid was a key step.

[@athenaexclamation4167]

i used concrete instead on a small hole , ended up uneven surface because of the little stones , now i know i should hv used cement damn

[@keith2498]

No sand to make it blend?

[@efuass]

@@keith2498 I like how you said to be nice and then you follow up with an insult, NOT nice.

[@PeterShipley1]

for a chip like that I would have just glued it back on.

[@dasfahrer8187]

How do you repair a driveway slab that has a minor crack because water has been channeling under it and has washed out the sand over time?

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

How much has the pad sunken?

[@bondpit8750]

@@EverydayHomeRepairswhat about a hairline crack where both sides are even? Most repair examples recommend chasing the crack and then filling with a urethane based caulk. Seems like there would be a better method cosmetically that would seal the hairline crack from further water intrusion and prevent cold weather freeze thaw cracking.

[@asintonic]

💯👍

[@DejNtab]

I've watched many KZbin videos on "how to patch broken walk ways, drive ways and etc..." Everyone just showing how to and use the same materials and same procedures all over and over again and again with NO DIFFERENCE but NO UPDATE....THIS IS "PATHETIC!"

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Is there something different you would like to see? Or just frustrated with the number of similar videos? You know the more of these videos you watch the more KZbin will continue to show you 🤷‍♂️
