Here are the different types of wet pour repairs:
The most common wetpour repair is when the edges of a wetpour surfacing have pulled away, due to weathering or shrinkage of the rubber and polyurethane resin binder material.
The best solution is to cut back up to 300mm and resurface in a contrasting colour band repair.
The contrasting colour makes the repair look like a frame around the surfacing and gives a decorative design finish.
As wet pour shrinks then any graphics installed or day joints is a point of weakness of the surface area and will need repairing in its lifetime.
Similar to wet pour perimeter repairs you cut back to give a suitable clean edge to install up to and resurface usually in a contrasting colour to add to the playground design.
Cracking on wet pour playground surfaces is common when the sub base is not fully compacted.
Any sub base movement can cause the surfacing to crack and a simple cut out and replace of the cracked areas will suffice.
After removing playground equipment the foot holes need filling in on wetpour areas.
It is common to create wetpour designs like splashes or circles in the wetpour repair surfaces.
The play equipment repairs are normally carried out before any flooring requirements are ordered.
Vandalism to wet pour safety surfacing is common in public parks where vandals set fire to bins or benches that damage the rubber floor.
It is easy to cut back and replace the damaged area of the wetpour surface and while the professional installers are onsite can also resurface any faulty areas causing trip hazards.

Wet pour is a low maintenance safety surface specification.
It is advised to clean the rubber playground surface area and a regular brush will remove dirt and natural debris which can get stuck within the pores of the wetpour system. This can lead to waterlogging in wet conditions.
A proactive maintenance plan is always advised but a reactive wetpour repair needs to be taken very seriously and repaired at the earliest possible opportunity.

Wetpour shrinkage can occur on any installation.
The weakest points tend to be around the perimeter or between day joints or where two colours meet.
There is no known reason why this happens and can happen to safety surfacing of any colour, any depth and installed on any sub base.
Repairs should not be undertaken in the first 12 months of newly installed wet pour surfaces wherever practically possible as this is the period where the majority of shrinking occurs and if done too early after the original installation then the shrinkage is very likely to continue and the repairs need redoing.
The wider the area of surfacing the more the wet pour surface is likely to see the effects of shrinkage.
Whilst narrow pathways still shrink the effect is less noticeable.
Compacted stone bases when the wetpour shrinks tend to need the repairs the most.
This is because some of the mot stone is taken with the shrinking wetpour.
This causes the moving stone to rise over the fixed stone causing a lifting effect which can lead to trip points.
There is also a tendency to lift the raised playground surfacing to investigate the issue, this can lead to more stone movement adding to the lifting effect.
The best advice to any facility owner is to repair damaged wetpour areas at the earliest convenience.
The longer you leave the unsafe rubber crumb surface the wider the problem.
It opens legal responsibility complaints or higher costs with the area size increasing that needs damaging.
