Concrete Prep and Repair

Spall and Pitting Repair

Spall and pitting repair that patches chipped edges, popouts and pitted surfaces with well-keyed repair mortar so the finished coating looks smooth and sound.

Concrete does not always wear gracefully. Edges chip, small pieces pop out, salt and freeze-thaw pit the surface and old repairs crumble. These flaws show through a coating and can catch your broom. Repairing them returns the slab to a smooth, solid surface and gives the coating something good to grip. Nashville garages that see road salt in winter and temperature swings year-round often show pitting near the door and along the apron.

We remove loose and weak concrete back to a sound edge, clean the area and apply a bonding agent where needed. Then we fill the area with a repair mortar chosen for thin patches or deeper holes and trowel it flush. After it cures, the repair is ground to blend with the surrounding slab. For widespread light pitting, we can use a fine resurfacing skim to even the surface. We are honest when damage is deep enough to need more than a patch, and we explain the options for resurfacing or partial replacement.

Questions

Spall and Pitting Repair FAQ

Will repairs show under the coating?

Properly ground repairs are hidden under flakes or a solid color.

What causes pitting?

Freeze-thaw cycles, salt, poor finishing and chemical exposure are common causes.

Can badly spalled concrete be saved?

Often yes with patches or a resurfacing layer. Severe damage may need replacement.

How long do patches take?

Small repairs cure quickly. Larger ones need more time before coating.

Is a skim coat the same as a patch?

A skim evens broad areas, while a patch fills a hole. We use the right one for each flaw.
