Patio Re-Pointing with Sika FastFix (and giveaway winner announcement) 

Matt, this is so helpful. I just bought the same product and thinking I should hire a gardener. With this video, I believe I could do it myself. I am 67 year old fit female.

Nice video. Short and sweet and to the point!

This video was great.. Really helpful.

Very informative. I will buy.

Sounds good I hope it works for me and my backyard

Thanks Matt, great video. You have inspired me to do a re-grout of our patio (its in need of one), and likewise I have been putting it off as I thought it would need re-laying really. This should give it a few years more use first. And Woohoo, I won something! Thanks, will drop you an email. :-)

Congratulations Ollie!! Thanks for the contest Matt

Cheers for that Matt. I’m on my way to b&q to get some now! Hope it held up well!

Blimey Matt it's like you are actually working through all the jobs I need to do at home. Thanks for working out the best way of doing them as you are saving me loads of time and effort! Although take a bit of advice from someone that knows and get yourself some knee pads😀

I repointed yesterday. After 18 hours, it is still a soft sand despite being tamped down. It feels like an oily sand, A few paw prints (foxes and badgers use the patio as a thoroughfare!) make it interesting and it is raining now. Fingers crossed.

I've just pointed a newly laid Indian stone patio using this product. 16m2 joints at between 10-20mm and at 20mm deep. My tub which says it does 18m2 only did 1/3 of the size! 3 lots of 18m2 tubs have been used to do my 16m2 patio? Expensive way to do this. Followed the instructions and the online youtrube video and compacted well also used plenty of water which also seems to be key. If I did it again I'd go down the traditional route i think and clean up after with an acid wash to clean any staining. Whether it lasts now is another matter time will tell...

nice one dude

Hey Matt, great vid. My patio is 36 feet x 9 feet (144 slabs), which is a lot of slabs. Unfortunately a lot of the gaps are less than 5mm. Do you think it’s worth taking the chance and using it? Other options would be use it on the parts that are 5mm and over then use sika setting sand for the areas less than 5mm (nightmare), or re-lay patio which I would like to avoid. What do you think? Thanks

Hi Matt. Thanks for the great video. Which colour did you use?

Did you have to brush away the product that was on the tiles before it set up?

I thought you were supposed to wet the area prior to applying?

Nice job. Patio should be relayed though 😅

Hey Matt, how is the jointing holding up?

I had 4 bags of this and only needed a little bit out of the 4th bag. The left overs in the bag do I tip out and cover with water ?

Can you not sweep it in then sprinkle water with fine mist?

What about the product left near to the cracks? Did you need to clean that off immediately?

Hi Matt how did the sika fast fix hold up now 2 years or so latter

My friend Daryl is really jealous of your face furniture

did this prevent weeds coming through?

How long did it take?

How did it hold up after two years?

Against my gut instinct, I used Sika FastFix on my limestone flags.... I've done many re-grouting jobs and this was on my own house so I was super careful. Cleaned out old grout and brushed this stuff in and pressed it in with pointing tool... 6 months later it fails the "key-test" miserable (like wet sand when scraped with a key)... Never again

I'm in the process of repointing my patio.. Im using grinder.. it's back breaking trying to get the mortar.. and sand out enough.. Hope it works well for me too.. thanks for video

You need to add a lot of water

great video but a look at the finished product would have been good

This stuff is expensive and in my experience it’s shit, pointed a patio and over a week later the joints were still soft

Load of carp would never use it again

They don't honour their part when something goes wrong

Biggest bag of sh.... I've come across. Lasted about 16 months. Now made a proper mix with sand and cement with one shovel full of sharp mixed in.

Crap concept…point it traditionally. Or cant you be bothered..or you aint got skill n patience
