How to fix damaged rendered brickwork?

I damage a driveway while taking my car out to want to know how this can be fixed. Looks fairy simple however I am not an expert so want to check.

Re: How to fix the damage driveway

Hi @chiragarora 

 

sorry about your brick work but it is pretty painless to fix.

 

Simply buy some render  mix a steel  trowel  for clean application and most importantly render shaping and final finish.

 

Mix render up  per bag instructions in a  bucket on on a clean wood board and  spritz  the damaged  bricks/concrete and proceed to rebuild your wall shapes.

 

Using a steel trowel to push the render to the wall and create a flat smooth corner shape.

If the render tries to peel off the wall put it back into the bucket and let it stand  for 10 mins so it starts to stiffen up partially set and dry out.

 

Tip  : a bigger trowel like below will sit on concrete face and span across the  repair area at the same time  helping you form correct dimentions.

 

Try again you should be golden
