Re: how to repair damaged concrete stairs?

Hello @dev-mel 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about repairing your concrete steps.

 

To repair damaged concrete stairs, start by preparing the area. First, remove any loose debris and damaged concrete to ensure a solid repair base. For cracks or minor surface repairs, you can use a product like Sika 1L Concrete Fix or Earl's Concremate Expanding Cement from Bunnings, which are ideal for filling gaps and cracks in concrete surfaces. If your stairs have significant damage or missing sections, building a formwork with wood and pouring in new concrete is often necessary for stability. Products such as Bastion 20kg Premix Concrete offer strong support and durability when used as a full repair solution.

 

For finishing and durability, consider sealing or painting the repaired stairs. The Dulux Concrete and Paving Paint provides a weather-resistant finish, and using a primer before the topcoat can help with adhesion. Take care to follow the manufacturer's instructions for curing times and application to ensure a lasting repair.

 

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