Hello,

My front path and in particular the steps are made of cement/concrete with stones mixed in. It is very old and there are holes appearing that I would like to repair. Would it be ok to mix up cement and fill the holes or do I need to be more drastic? The holes aren't deep but they don't look very nice and could cause someone to trip so I would like to avoid being sued by a delivery driver?

Any help would be great thanks

:thumbleft:

You should avoid doing it in this weather as it is too cold.

For small areas I'd use something like this- http://www.screwfix.com/prods/88670/Bui ... ement-10kg

as it sets in 20 mins :wink:
