I need to fix a few holes & cracks in my concreted garage floor.
Firstly can anyone recommend a good fast dry ready-mixed concrete that I can get from B&Q or Wicks etc for the job ?
Then any advice on the job itself - I would assume clear any cracks/holes of lose concrete/dust etc then fill the hole & level off?
Any advice tips would be really helpful as I am attemping the job this weekend. There will be moisture in the air I guess - does that matter ?

Thanks.

knock it up yourself :)
may take longer to go off, but much cheaper and it's not difficult

If the holes and cracks are less than about 2inch wide or deep normal concrete mix will soon crack up because the pebbles are too big to form any sort of proper bond.Mix your own using pee gravel,sharp sand and plenty of cement,also dont forget to use unibond to paint inside the holes and cracks to give a better bond,and if there is going to be a frost cover it up once layed

If they're small holes and cracks, you might be as well using an epoxy repair mortar. That should bond better and be less likely to crack.

use sand and cement, but use unibond to mix it instead of water - sticks like sh1t to a fluffy blanket
