  • So was removing tiles from our kitchen floor and the thinly laid concrete floor cracked. I’ve taken off the loose bits and it’s all dirt under.

    What’s the cheapest way to remedy this as we have no more money. Could we remove the rest of the floor and get a new layer poured on?

  • Is it solid underneath? If so I'd just pour some levelling compound to even it all up again

  • It looks like blinding. Basically a sharp sand / cement mix that is poured over dirt or hardcore to seal it and prevent it from causing any issues within the building.

    If I were you I'd buy a couple of bags of sharp sand and a bag of cement, mix it together in a 4:1 ratio (approx) with some water then fill the hole smoothing it at the edges so that it's level. If you want to go down the self levelling route after then do that.
