How do I add concrete to an existing slab to level out?

Hi Workshop team, I have an existing concrete slab that is not level around the outside as seen in images attached. I am seeking guidance on how best to level this with the existing slab? What products would you recommend to bind together with existing slab

Re: How do I add concrete to an existing slab to level out?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @mattschild. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about filling concrete.

You could use Dingo 10KG Structural Mortar Repair Bag for your project. I recommend cleaning the concrete well with a high pressure sprayer and then creating some formwork for the edge. Ensure it is well staked in position to prevent it from falling over. You can then paint Boncrete over the lower section and the lip and mix a little into your mortar. Then, fill the area with your mortar and trowel it smooth. Once dry you can remove your formwork.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
