DIY ROOF TILE REPAIR.

Replacing a cracked roof tile may be impossible because you cannot find a match. It can also be expensive if you need to replace more than one.

Do not dispair DIY.

HANDLE THE TILES WITH CARE TO PREVENT FURTHER CRACKS.

Clean the tile with a brush. Dampen the cracked tile bits (do not make it dripping wet).
Apply a flexible roof compound. Join the broken pieces. Smooth with a damp cloth. Allow to dry.

Your local hardware shop will stock various brand products. Just ask for A FLEXIBLE ROOF COMPOUND.

You can add a little paint or pigment powder to the compound to match the colour of the tile.

If your tiles are painted then paint over the repair.

This is not a difficult job and any amateur DIY lady or man can handle this with ease.

Save money repair do not replace.




   Have fun.
