How to fix gaps in outdoor tiled steps?

Pradeepk

Hi team,

Some gaps have appeared in our steps because the house has shifted. In the long run, the steps will probably need to be redone entirely. For now, I’m hoping to find a short-term fix to stop the gaps getting worse.

Does anyone have suggestions on what I could use to fill them?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Pradeep

Hello @Pradeepk

Thank you for sharing your question about your outdoor tiled steps. I suggest removing the old gap sealers with a Trojan Safety Scraper With 5 Blades and cleaning the surface as best as you can. I then recommend putting in Moroday 15mm x 5m White Gap Filler Rod into the large gaps and Moroday 10mm x 5m White Gap Filler Rod for the smaller gaps. Push them in at least 10mm deep.

Once the gap filler rods are in place, I then suggest using Sika 600ml Concrete Grey Sikaflex Pro+ Polyurethane Sealant to fill the gaps. I recommend using the guide I've placed below.

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How To Silicone Seal A Bath (the techniques used are applicable to your project)

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
