sackville Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Our front terrace/patio is in a pretty poor state. It was undoubtably put in when the house was built (30 years or so) The question is : can it be temporarily resurfaced just for appearance sake? I was thinking about perhaps being able to skim a new concrete surface over the old pitted surface, perhas with the aid of some sort of 'glue' to enable the old and new to adhere? I know that the correct solution is to dig up and replace the whole thing but a) it is not used for sitting out on and b) the very thought of the effort makes me feel tired. Any suggestions appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert the InfoGipsy Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Is it just pitted and rough or are there any cracks running across it? If there are cracks then any layer you put on is likely to crack in the same place. If it's just rough you could probably give it a new look with a self-levelling screed. Sorry I can't recommend any products -- long time since I did this sort of thing.On the other hand, it may be quite thin anyway. Apart from car parking areas, concrete around houses I've had dealings with was thin & easy to break out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty123 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Couldn't you put ceramic tiles on it or decking? That would hide the cracks and look nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
