Set well

I had a couple of slabs to re-lay on the steps in my garden, this tub was the perfect size for the job! It mixed really well into a smooth texture and coverage was perfect. Drying time on a colder day took all day but set really well. Highly recommended.

Good for small repairs.

It's easy to mix with water as per instructions and no mess as all mixing is in the bucket. Drys very well and the bucket comes in handy. Does what is says on tub.

foxie1979 - 5 / 5 - 02/12/2024

Great packaging and easy to mix fuss free.

This handy tub is great for completing small jobs, mess and fuss free. The cement comes sealed in a plastic inner pack so you can use as much or as little as you require. It was easy to mix into a good texture. The texture was good and completed the job in hand. The dry time was reasonable making it an overall great cement.

Volden general purpose concrete

Used for the first time today. Great concrete mix. Easy to use to fill in gaps & to use underneath concrete panels for a level floor. Easy to level off and seems to be drying well . Will purchase again . So far so good.
