How to Fix Crumbling Concrete/Cement Steps

So many of you asked for a video of this once I repaired a few steps on instagram- I think this a very common problem! Here it is! Hope this helps! Like I say in the video, its very possible to just do this with a trowel and a bucket. I'll put amazon links below for items that may be helpful, if you use the affiliate links, I will receive a small commission at no additional expense to you.

The best part - at 9:55 - "if you mess it up, anything can be fixed." It's what makes a fearless DIY-er fearless. Thank you!

Great Video. I poured a concrete pad 20 years ago for the base of wood entry steps. I was running out of material during the pour and ended up using a couple of different left over bags to finish pouring. The temperatures were near freezing just before winter and the pad slowing degraded over time. Now is the time to re-form and re-pour. I will post the results. This is the best video I have seen on doing such a repair.

Please note she was doing this with it coldish out, if you use this product on a hot day you will have to work faster. It sets up very fast when hot out, however they have additives that make the product slower to set and also one to allow it to flow more easily. with those additives this can used with molds to make very strong garden orniments such as lions etc.

Your video made me decide to have my daughter help me fix ours and to give her a lesson on masonry. Love to see girls in the trades. Thanks for the great video.

Where can I find a handy woman like you? I am getting tired of doing all the handy work by my self LOL. Great JOB!

[Danny-juip]

She's definitely an Irish girl. Their dads always make them learn the trade 😅 This is great !

Just a video I was looking for my steps look just like that and I just don’t have the money to have the report now but this I can do. Thank you so much great job.!

I have spalling areas on my patio. I will do all you suggestions. You did an awesome job explaining. You encouraged me to do the work myself. I'm 78 yrs old and I can do this. The quotes I received were way over the top. Keep up the good work! Yup, I am a subscriber as well. By the way, I have several of your red tub in different sizes and colors. They are great to use, not heavy. Smart mom!

LOVE how you are straight to the point and informative! There are Too many videos of people talking and talking and not getting to the important parts. I subscribed! Thank you!!! ❤

Very informative! I'll be repairing my front steps soon, and your vid gives me confidence. Minnesota winters are hard on concrete.

A pleasure to watch from England trade bloke, builder roofer, what stood out to me was your enthusiasm and passion wich we do in trades, putting heart and soul in, face change work wich hives you pride,

[spelunkerd]

Well done, you've got an endearing presence on the screen. I've never seen people remove forms while the concrete is wet, that's an interesting strategy.

I will be fixing my steps this weekend, now that I’ve watched your video! Thank you!

[annhans]

For some reason I just like watching concrete work. 🤣. Thanks for sharing.

[Laura-ihvv]

You’ve given me hope that I can fix my steps by myself. Thanks!

[Danny-juip]

Nice job ! You can definitely save alot of money learning the tricks of concrete diy. I've got a smaller set of steps not half as bad as these i called 3 concrete contractors and they all want to knock them out and a new pour for $3000. Its ridiculous you can diy for $60

[MrGrimco]

Couple tips, take a quart of motor oil or even some burnt motor oil and an old paint brush just brush some on one side of your form keeps concrete from sticking. When removing your form slide it up and down rather than pulling directly toward you, that also helps keep the concrete in place. Nice job anyway ;)

I’ll be trying this for our step repair! Thank you for the video 😊
