    After the severe winter weather, a part of my step outside patio is crumbling. It is not where you put your foot but underneath, if you know what I mean!:D

    As I am NOT a DIYer, any easy remedy to salvage the loose stone that is coming out of it, every so often?

    Thanks.

    Go to B&Q. Buy a couple of tubs of their epoxy resin concrete repair mortar(Its about €25 a tub! But its good)-it is in the aisle with the cement and bags of sand. Mix it up well, and using the cheap plastering trowel that you also bought in B&Q for €9,ahem, smear it into the damaged section untill you have a handsome flat finish. It will set like rock in a short period of time, and will last well, and your step will be repaired.:)
