The colour of the mortar is the only downside that I have found so far. It is of a light grey colour when fully dried after some days. It is therefore not really suitable for patching or repointing the mortar in most brickwork as the colour is different. Traditionally, Portland cement was mixed with Builder's sand which is of a yellow-brown tint giving the fully dried mortar a slightly beige colour, not grey. I first used this product to replace a layer of cement on top of a small circular drain for waste water as it was badly cracked. Normally there would be a grill and the waste water pipe would be positioned just above. For some reason my waste water drain pipe for the downstairs toilet sink was put down into the drain rather than above, when the house was built around 1969. I had to glue aluminium mesh to the base of the drain a day before adding the mortar so that it would not go down the drain. I did not go by the instructions to add a certain amount of water and preferred to add water until a good consistency was achieved with only a slight trickle of water seen after mixing. It dried well and nice and hard. It was workable for quite a while. The light grey colour was not a problem in this case. My next job was to replace the cracked mortar around a small drain cover used for cleaning out the waste water gulley. That job was perfect and yet again the light grey colour was not a problem. However, another job is to repoint a few bricks that have broken mortar. The colour will not match and I will have to buy a small amount of Portland cement and mix my own mortar with Builder's sand that I have spare from previous jobs. There is still plenty of mortar mix left in the tub after my first two jobs - seems to go a long way when doing small jobs. I may be able to find other jobs to use the mortar that is left but not for brickwork unfortunately. As I was doing my two first jobs on different days and using only small amounts, I mixed the mortar required in a builder's bucket each time. A great product but they should have got the colour right.

Excellent for repairs did the job without coming in a paper bag so it stays fresh and usable for a long time
