2 Pool Patch Repair Kit for Pool Decks and Patios, DIY Concrete Repair (Sand Buff, 3 lbs.)

I needed to repair chunks of mortar that had fallen from a jacuzzi spillway and between the coping and jacuzzi wall that had cracked along a good 6-8 foot section and with higher water splashes was leaking through to the pool deck. My coping mortar is grey and the spillway sanded mortar is sand, so I figured this color (sand) would be close to both, and yup it's a nice sand color and dries lighter. Since this photo where you can clearly see the difference in colors where the repair work was done, it's dried 24h later to a perfect match to the sanded mortar and is obviously lighter than the grey concrete under the coping but that's hidden under the coping so I don't care.For those reviewers complaining about the directions, slow down and think about it. It's 1-1 powder and bonder and 3-1 water and powder, very simple. If you use enough powder to empty 1/3ish of the small container, then simply use 1/3ish of the little bottle of bonder, and mix in water to desired consistency of the resulting mortar - thinner to drip into cracks, thicker to push into cracks and build shapes to match larger cracks. It dries pretty quick so work fast and use a splash of water to fix what you mess up, super easy, don't overthink it (I dropped little blobs all over the place and they wiped up easy with a wet sponge). Wash up with clean water a few times to remove all the swirl marks from previous wipes, use more splashes of water to sand down over application areas and you're done.I was quoted $1,250-1,500 to have this done by the pool builder with a few weeks of wait time for such a tiny job... Or order this, get it next day, it's set on day 3 and get back to enjoying that money pit pool ;)

I had a quote of nearly $3000 from Sundek to patch 7 smallish areas and a crack on my pool deck, that Sundek installed 10 years ago. I did some research and found this product and did the job myself for around $300, which included a 5 gallon pail of Systex polymer acrylic paint, available at R1 Supply. Though the patch color I ordered here turned out to be Stegmeier Sand Buff and not the more closely matching Mortex Sand Buff, as per the color chart at E-ZPatch, I used it anyway, knowing I would paint the whole deck after the repairs were completed. You can order directly from E-ZPatch after looking at their color chart and you can call if you have questions, or you can send a photo to them to help match your deck color.One thing I learned while working with the product is that you have to be patient after applying it, in order to get a good stiffness in the peaks you create with your fingertips (as per the excellent video), before you lightly and deftly knock them down with your trowel to create a match to your deck's texturing. If you get the technique wrong, just sprinkle a little, and I mean a LITTLE, water on the patch, or add a tad more mixture over the patch, then wait til it sets up to where it doesn't stick to the trowel, then knock it down using very light stokes at first. If you are still not happy with the texturing, you can scrape/etch with the point of the trowel, then either lightly knock it down again or use a slightly damp sponge to wipe away the residue. The product sands very easily, too, so you can make the patch areas level with the surrounding deck. I'd never done this kind of work before, and am very happy with the results.

It's not to hard to work with. You do need to work fast before it starts drying.

Previous owners were tricky and put a thin layer of spray-on deck over a very cracked concrete surface. My husband chiseled out the dirty cracks to clean concrete and also cleaned off areas where there were bare concrete patches. Product was very easy to use and did a great job of filling the cracks and preventing further damage to the pool deck and lanai. We then pressure washed and painted the whole deck and lanai with Pool Deck paint. It really looks amazing and probably saved us thousands of dollars compared to having the deck professionally repaired. Highly recommend this product if you want to diy your deck.

The product works ok. The problem is that the instructions for the liquid harder and power are relative to each other (such as use half the liquid for half the power) instead of x parts (or oz) of liquid to x parts (or oz) of powder. Then the amount of water is also relative to the amount of liquid. It appears the intent is to get you to mix the entire container at one time. When you just want to mix enough for a few patches the instructions are worthless and you just have to make a swag. In addition, this is really just a concrete mix and the cost is way too high for what you get. I can deal with the cost but the poor instructions are just silly (or is it greedy).

Easy and smooth transaction. Fast delivery. Does exactly as advertised. I would purchase again. Thanks, Mary

This pool deck concrete repair kit is very valuable if you need a small repair and don't want a company to come out and charge you a bunch of money. The rust color I selected was that perfect match and came out perfect. Similar products are available but this is the brand you want and will give you the best results.

Didn't work well. Ended up having to scrape it all off and find a different repair. Tried 2 times with this stuff. Should have stopped after the first try.
