Cracked render, temp repair?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.27 PM

Hi. Unfortunately our rendering needs replacing, it's got a good fair few (deep) cracks throughout the area. At the moment we can not afford to have it re done, so my question is, what material or product do I need to fill/repair these cracks temporarily. Many thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

It’s not a problem you can you an exterior filler which will do the job and if you’re good no one would know you have a problem. Hope that helps . Regards Francis

You can buy ready prepared render repair mixes from a DIY shop such as B&Q, they are essentially a dry mortar mix and sometimes they contain additives which you add water to and apply, this would be the best option if you wish to undertake this yourself. Alternatively you can mix your own but it would depend on the render type, and material costs might increase from the need to buy full bags/tubs but only require small amounts from each, resulting in leftover materials you need to store or dispose of.

There is a reason the render has cracked and a temporary fix is only covering over the underlying issue. Is it bad workmanship or structural movement? Do the cracks appear on the internal walls as well? Sorry but filling the cracks is not the solution unless you are selling up and moving on passing the problem onto someone else

, you can patch it up but it still might show. Or you will need to hack render and re-render whole wall if loose
