What is a Wetpour Repair?

A wet pour repair is the process of rectifying any issues or damage on an EPDM rubber surface. 

Wet pour repairs can, in certain cases, involve some work to the surrounding area too. We may have to create a new chase or channel cut at a suitable edge around the whole perimeter of the wetpour surface and then remove the damaged areas of rubber crumb. In this case, the base rubber will be removed too.

The affected area is then filled with a fresh new layer of safety rubber and graded down to the existing edge to reduce any possible trip hazard. We can offer testing of wet pour surfaces to ensure safety if necessary.

We advise that this 'band repair' is carried out in a contrasting colour than the existing wetpour surface as changing the colour has the benefit of giving any area a facelift and fresh appearance whilst maintaining the BSEN 1177 safety standards.

We have a wide variety of options to choose from and we can advise you on the best way forward.

This process involves fixing any damage, if required, cutting back the safety surfacing around the perimeter and then applying a new wearing course.

How to Repair Wetpour

We recommend that safety surfacing is inspected at least once a week to ensure it remains safe and compliant at all times. Any item which needs attention can be rectified quickly and cost effectively.

Failure to keep your nearby playground surfacing in tip top condition may mean putting the health and safety of your playground users at risk and leaving yourself open to receive a personal injury claim. Remember where there's blame there's a claim.

When proactively maintaining a floor, you are able to discover a damaged area as soon as possible. That's very beneficial to you as it ensures that the wetpour repairs are attended to as soon as possible when they are at their cheapest.

This is because damage is likely to expand over time and with use meaning that when you eventually get a repair, it could be very costly, especially compared to the cost of the initial fix.

When you are ready to repair the playground surfacing, you will need a stanley knife, paddle style mixer and plastering trowel. It is recommended to get a rubber company to carry out the repairs in most cases to ensure you get the perfect product and results. 

Our team offer competitive prices for play areas and gardens. Whether you need minor repairs or a brand new surface, it is definitely recommended to contact our professionals.
