Question

Can cement render be repaired? Mine has cracked and fallen off in a couple of places.

Russell · Answer

You can repair cracked render .if your repair has fallen off a couple of times then the backing is either got no suction/to smoth or your render is the wong mix . If baddly cracked  you can use a hellibar system in the morter bed joints  other wise you can fix expanding metal lath  on to the exposed surface .drill and plugged  then re render. Other wise  brush on sbr  liqued  ,scratch coat with a slurry coat of sand cement 3/1 mix  ,leave to harden fore a couple ov days then top coat  with a 4/1mix ov sand and cement render . Any of these methods will work

Leigh · Answer

It can be repaired. But there are alot better products to use. On external render. Rather than sand cement over time it breaks down.

Alex · Answer

Definitely yes, can be repaired, cracks and what fallen offparts

Ryan · Answer

Cement renders can sometimes be removed by working over the surface with a hammer, aided, where necessary, by a chisel. Great care must be exercised. If large sheets are levered off, soft underlying materials may be seriously damaged. Various power tools can also be suitable but only in highly experienced hands.

Yes. Render. Can be repaired, and made good  , but will never be as good as new , ie having complete new rendering ,  GB plastering , hope that helps

Ryan · Answer

Yes ofcourse it can be taken back around the damaged area to the  closest solid bit of render then re prepare the background and scratch coat and top coat it back on

Jason · Answer

Yes I'm sure it's repairable but it's difficult to say what needs to be done without inspection

Lori · Answer

Yes it can, but will need to b aware once taken off the cracked or blown parts can end up going on and on, u stop once u hit solid parts of house witch is unlikely in most jobs,  if its blown or cracks ur better off doin whole job, a patch up isn't always the best option, cheapest, if your goin to do it, do it right first as last, or the house will always be patched up,
