How to Fix a Broken Patio – Complete Guide

A cracked or uneven patio is an eyesore and a trip hazard.

Fixing Cracked Concrete

Use concrete crack filler for hairline cracks. For wider cracks use concrete repair mortar — chisel clean edges, dampen, fill, and smooth flush.

Fixing Sunken Paving Slabs

Lever up the slab with a bolster chisel. Add sharp sand beneath to correct the level. Replace the slab and check with a spirit level.

Fixing Loose Block Paving

Lift individual blocks. Add sand beneath. Replace and brush kiln-dried sand into all joints to lock in place.

Sealing the Patio

Apply patio sealant to protect against future water ingress, moss growth, and staining. Reapply every two to three years.
