Bostik Express Pointing Mortar

Easy to apply and looks good once applied and dried. Would have looked better if it was the same colour as my current mortar.

Did what I wanted but it was not that easy to get it out of the cartridge.

A really convenient repair product for small pointing jobs. Easy to apply straight from the tube and gives a neat finish without needing to mix traditional mortar. Ideal for quick repairs around the house.

I did actually complete the step repointing job I set out to do using this cartridge and it looks good. But what a faff. I don’t believe mortar was ever designed to be applied from a tube as by its very thick and gritty consistency it’s not going to readily slide out of a fairly narrow outlet. The actual mortar itself is good quality but using a cartridge/nozzle to apply it just does not work. I tried it, hoping it would be an easy and very quick fix for my step but as it was so damned hard to come out of the nozzle I’ll be going back to the” old-fashioned” way and mix up my own mortar, apply it with a trowel and then point it. It gets the 3* purely because of the Mortar quality otherwise it was a 1 *.

Bought to fill holes where someone has drilled through the wall to fit outside lights but the hole is no longer needed. To repair as an amateur and make the end result looks invisible would be unbelievably challenging. Cue this product. Outstanding results and incredibly easy to do. My only criticism is that it's incredibly expensive for the volume of cement, but for targeted repairs its an outstanding product

This is an excellent product for small repairs. Dries quickly to a grey colour and is of sufficient hardness. I am no expert but I would have liked it to have been slightly more moist and therefore pliable but I still give it 5 stars for ease of use. Excellent for DIY novices like myself. I now know exactly the texture and thickness it should be if I am making it up from dry mix myself.

Does the job. Need a decent caulk gun and make sure you cut the full top off above the thread to make sure it flows well.

This item was one of the worst products I have used. I needed to make good a short length of mortar, which had been removed when some scaffolding was taken away. I bought this brand because it seems to be well known and widely respected. However, I found the contents of the tube incredibly hard to squeeze out. It literally hurt my hand, it was so difficult. When it did come out of the nozzle the mortar was hard and very dry. There was no smooth run, as I had expected. Instead it came out in hard lumps, which immediately fell to the ground, as it would not adhere to anything. I ended up pushing the mortar into the gap with my finger, as it was the only way I could get it to stay in. A very poor product. I would definitely not recommend it.
