How to repair the render?

Hi All...

 My wife noticed this damage to the render on the outside of our house...

It is only a small patch, but it's on the corner... Just wondering what would be the best solution to fix this.????

All help gratefully accepted..

Hello @Jolly181

Thanks for sharing your question about repairing the render on the side of the house.

I suggest using a Mr. Clean Handheld Iron Scrub Brush or similar to brush out the loose render that might still be there. I recommend using a Sabco Jumbo Wash Sponge to dampen the exposed render before patching it with mortar. You will need a Craftright 150mm Pointing Trowel to mix the mortar and to apply it to the damaged area. I recommend using the Dingo Fast Set Mortar - 3kg mixed with water to repair the damage. Mix only the amount you think will need to repair the area. Make sure to place the unused mortar in a ziplock bag for future repairs. It sounds like an interesting repair job, any photo updates you can provide while you fix it would be much appreciated.
