How to level cracked outdoor slabs?

[Jacqueline23]

I am wanting to level two separate outdoor slabs. Both have some cracks and have been painted or stained in the past. I plan to paint and stencil them when they have been levelled. What are the best crack fillers, primers and levellers to use? Thank you

Ok sweet, given it’s a small area, the water enters through just one spot, is there something you could recommend trying without engaging a trade. Our place is on Dangar Island so trades can be a little difficult and hoping to have the space at least functional by the end of the year.

Or would you recommend treating the rest of the floor to deal with cracking etc and leave that section for a professional to look at?

Hello @JackP 

I recommend leaving the flooring area as is until you have enough resources to repair the floor properly. Patching that particular section will not be effective as water will simply work its way around that patched section, it will look for the easiest path around it and look for the weakest most vulnerable spot around your floor. All of a sudden, another section is flooding where water has never out of before. I don't advise doing small section repairs especially when it involves flooring and water leaks.

Fair enough mate! I had thought the same thing about the water finding another way in. All the best.
