UltraCrete Instant Road Repair 6mm FAQs

I’m Cleo, owner of The Paving Experts, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we’re asked every single day.

What is the difference between the tub and the bag?

Both contain 25kg of the same IRR 6mm material and once opened, all material should be used. The tub is preferred by contractors who need a stackable, rigid container that’s easy to move around site and between jobs. The bag gives better pallet efficiency (56 vs 52 tubs per pallet) and suits larger single repairs or bulk purchasing.

Can I reseal the tub and use it later?

The tub is resealable, but once opened, all material should be used in one go. IRR begins to cure on contact with air, so plan to complete the repair using the full contents of the tub.

Is Instant Road Repair 6mm a permanent repair?

Yes. When applied correctly — including use of UltraCrete SCJ to seal edges and substrate — IRR 6mm provides a first-time permanent reinstatement. HAPAS approved since 2002.

Can I use IRR 6mm on a car park or driveway?

Yes — IRR 6mm is suitable for car parks and driveways as well as footways, footpaths and cycle tracks. For high-stress areas subject to turning or heavy braking, UltraCrete Tough Patch offers greater skid resistance.

How quickly can the area be opened to traffic?

Instantly — once compacted, immediately trafficable. No curing wait required.

Can I use IRR 6mm in the rain?

IRR 6mm is compaction-cured and can be used in light rain. If heavy or persistent rain is forecast, UltraCrete Tough Patch is the better product — it is water-cured and specifically designed for wet conditions.

What is the difference between 6mm and 10mm?

6mm is for footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways (min depth 15mm). 10mm is for Type 3 and 4 roads (min depth 30mm). If your repair is shallower than 30mm, 6mm is the correct specification.

When should I use Tough Patch instead of IRR 6mm?

UltraCrete Tough Patch is recommended for areas requiring maximum skid resistance, for heavy or persistent rain (it is water-cured), and for surfaces subject to repeated braking or turning loads. Call us on 0330 122 1025 if you’re unsure.

Do I need to use SCJ?

Yes — we strongly recommend using UltraCrete SCJ Seal and Tack Spray on all vertical edges and substrate, and between layers. It creates a waterproof bond and significantly improves repair longevity.

Why is my IRR firm in the tub?

Apply light pressure to the inner bag within the tub to restore normal consistency. In cold weather, store somewhere warm overnight before use.

What is the shelf life?

6 months from date of manufacture in sealed tubs, stored in a cool, well-ventilated place. Once opened, all material should be used.

Is IRR 6mm approved for use on the London Underground?

Yes — approved for use on both the London Underground and Overground.

Is a pallet deal available?

You’re on it — this is our 52-tub full pallet deal with free delivery to England & Wales. For larger quantities or bespoke pricing, call us on 0330 122 1025.
