Repair & Reinstate Masonry

This stage covers rebuilding damaged concrete, masonry, panels, and mortar; filling holes; stopping local leaks; and improving repair mixes. The live Products include repair mortars, epoxy repair compounds, hydraulic plugs, polymer additives, and a concrete densifier. Their evidence names structural repairs, spalls, renders, mortars, or weak concrete.

Use repair mortars for supported cement-based reinstatement, fairing, high-build repairs, and concrete restoration. Use an epoxy repair Product where its evidence describes structural bonding, crack filling, anchor bolts, or damp-condition repairs. The correct choice depends on the substrate, geometry, loading, moisture, and required finish; consult the Product instructions before selection.

Yes. Everbond Plastabond, Gripset 11Y, and Mapei Planicrete SP are included because their evidence describes modifying cement, sand, renders, screeds, or patch mortars to improve adhesion, flexibility, water resistance, or durability. Confirm the mix ratio, substrate, compatible mortar, and cure requirements in the Product instructions.

Armadillo D is included for hardening and protecting weak or dusting concrete. Its local evidence describes a water-based silicate treatment that penetrates the surface, increases abrasion resistance, reduces dusting, and lowers liquid absorption. It is not a rising-damp barrier, so it should not replace a moisture-control Product where dampness is the job condition.

Gripset C-Plug and Mapei Lamposilex are included for local leak stopping because their evidence describes rapid cementitious plugs for active water through holes, cracks, or concrete structures. They are not substitutes for a full waterproofing system or injected crack repair. Confirm water pressure, substrate condition, and the required follow-on detail before use.
