  • Doesn’t look like much but managed to patch up the shit show concrete at the end of my path. Just a layer of ready mixed and then a liberal sprinkling with a watering can, way less work than expected.
    Next up tile cleaning, and recommendations?

  • It's a shame they chopped them back - and halfway through the red ones too - why did people do stuff like that?

    I've never cleaned outdoor tiles but Patio Magic or similar and a pressure washer?

    If you don't have a pressure washer we actually have one. At least in theory: it's been on 'long term loan' to someone else on Rensburg since not long after we moved in, so hopefully it still exists/works.

    I am hoping that when we lift the fugly paving slabs outside the front of ours we'll find the original tiles a layer or too down, but this is probably wishful thinking.

  • Cif for a mild approach, some kind of acid for a hard approach (guess it's got old mortar stuck to them?).

  • Those old tiles can be a fucker to clean, but worth it if you can. Ours just wouldn't, and there were too many broken/missing to re-use. We had to get new ones as I just couldn't find any of the 4" ones anywhere. Tons of 6" (which is what yours look like) on ebay if you need to replace any.
