How to level a depression in concrete?

Hi everyone, new to the workshop and DIY. I started replacing the carpets in my house with floorboard but one of the room has an area about 50cmx50cm that is about 10mm lower than the rest of the area. I suspect it might be due to the shower and bath in the adjacent room. It also has some cracks and looks like some patch work done previously. The patched area sounded a bit hollow when knocking on it. I am thinking of using a similar process to this to level the area https://youtu.be/wV7JF8S7XcY Am I on the right track and what is the equivalent of the product used in Australia?

Re: How to level a depression in concrete?

Hello @tts1980 

 

It's good to hear that there is no leak in your flooring. I was actually going to suggest using Dunlop 1L Multipurpose Water Based Primer on your floor before you begin using the floor leveller. Make sure to give the floor a really good clean so that you won't have any dust or debris mixing in with the primer.

 

Please make sure to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when mixing and using the floor leveller.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
