Filling concrete slab indentations

Aug 20, 2023 Last reply: 2 years ago 5 Replies

Hi all,



I have a concrete slab which in places has some small shallow (say a couple of mm) indentations. I need to fill them to make it flat (doesn't need to be smooth just flat) and was wondering what you would suggest. Given the small thickness, I was thinking of exterior self levelling compound but then wondered whether maybe tile adhesive would be better?



Anyone any ideas?



Thanks

I used a resin based cement for levelling a worn step and that has lasted about 40 years so far.

Yes, I doubt if cement itself will adhere to the surface well enough and will break up over time. Brian

Self level,ling should be good. Tile cement is not a lot of cop under high wear or damp conditions.

Colin's suggestion sounds the best so far.

The big advantage of resin bonded cement is that it can be taken to a feather edge without any problems.

I have used this stuff before on concrete repairs, very tough, can be smoothed out quite thin and is weather resistant. I did one repair outside last year and despite snow, ice and anything else the weather has thrown at it it is still intact.
