Re: How to fix cracks in exterior render?

Hello @ashsew 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us and thank you for sharing your question about fixing cracks in exterior render. 

 

I suggest trying this method, utilize a Josco 3 Piece Hand Wire Brush Kit to eliminate the dust and debris residing in the crevices, and subsequently fill them using Poly 500g Exterior Brick and Render Masonry. To keep a flat profile, use a Pro Renovator 38mm Plastic Scraper. Use a dry sponge and dab the surface of the repair area to give it a rough texture.

 

Allow the filler to solidify, and then smoothen out any flaws by sanding. It will be essential to repaint the affected area, as the colour of Polyfilla's finish may differ from your walls current colour.

 

If you have any further inquiries, please let me know.


Eric
