Damp, Hardening & Specialist Solutions

Some surfaces need treating before any filler or coating will hold. Our range of Toupret damp, hardening and specialist solutions covers those preparation stages. These products address moisture, movement and surface instability. They target the underlying problems that cause repairs to fail.

Damp treatment comes in two forms. First, a moisture barrier paint seals local patches of damp on internal and external walls before overcoating. Next, an anti-damp render works on porous or untreated masonry, forming a breathable barrier that controls moisture at the surface. Both stabilise the substrate so that subsequent coatings bond correctly.

For surfaces prone to movement, standard rigid fillers will crack again. A ready-mixed flexible filler handles gaps and cracks across tiles and flexible substrates, and also suits other specialist surfaces. In addition, a flexible skim coat covers broader areas that move, delivering a smooth base without the risk of a rigid product breaking down over time.

Finally, wall hardener rounds out the surface preparation process. It penetrates soft, powdery or deteriorating masonry and strengthens it before filler or paint is applied. Scrim tapes, available in fine elastic or self-adhesive options, reinforce cracks ahead of filling and reduce the chance of them returning once decorated.
