When concrete needs restoration before tile or other finishes, Mapei repair products (Planitop for cosmetic work, Mapegrout for structural loads) prepare the slab. Regina Concrete diagnoses the damage, selects the right Mapei mortar, and installs it to spec. We also coordinate Kerabond tile adhesive so the whole system stays one brand. Free written estimate on every job.
The strength of Mapei is that every layer of a tile or concrete assembly is engineered to work with the next. A Mapegrout structural repair under a Mapelastic waterproofing membrane under a Kerabond tile adhesive is one calibrated system. If you mix brands at any layer, the warranty chain breaks.
We install Mapei repair mortar as the foundation layer, using Planitop for cosmetic or moderate damage and Mapegrout for structural loads. Once the repair cures, we can supply the matched Kerabond adhesive or coordinate with your tile installer so the whole assembly stays Mapei-specified.
We evaluate the concrete damage (cosmetic spalling, structural cracks, load-bearing failure) and choose Planitop for light-to-moderate work or Mapegrout for structural restoration.
Prepare the slab per spec
Unsound concrete is removed, the repair zone is cleaned to Mapei standards, and the substrate is primed with the matched Mapei primer to ensure bond.
Mix and place mortar
Mapei repair mortar is mixed to manufacturer ratios, placed at the engineered thickness, and finished flush with the surrounding concrete surface.
Cure and hand off to next trade
The repair cures per Mapei schedule. If tile or other finishes follow, we coordinate the adhesive choice so the system stays whole-Mapei through completion.
System warranty advantage
One Brand Through the Entire Assembly
Projects that use Mapei repair, waterproofing, and adhesive from the same manufacturer get a single warranty that covers the whole stack. If the repair fails, the waterproofing fails, or the adhesive fails, one warranty applies to all three. This is the real value of staying single-brand.
We coordinate the repair install and the adhesive selection so that warranty path stays intact from substrate through finish. See the full Mapei product range and our other brand specialties.
Planitop vs Mapegrout, tile system warranty, primer and structural repair.
Planitop is the cosmetic-to-moderate repair family; Mapegrout covers structural repair with high-strength bonded chemistry. We pick based on the repair situation.
For whole-system warranty path, yes. Mixing brands at the adhesive layer breaks the system warranty even if the repair was Mapei. We coordinate accordingly.
Yes, the Mapegrout high-strength formulations are engineered for structural load. We pick the matched product for the engineered spec.
Yes, with the non-sag formulations in the Mapei range. Standard horizontal repair sags vertically; the vertical/overhead products stay in place.
Properly matched and installed Mapei repairs outlast the surrounding concrete in most service environments. Bond is engineered to be the strongest part of the assembly.
Mapei Planitop substrate repair under my tile install. Same brand through the whole assembly, warranty path stayed clean. The system coordination pays off.

Mapegrout structural repair on a load-bearing element. Engineer signed off on the repair spec, cured cleanly, structurally restored to spec.

They coordinated Mapei repair with the tile contractor's Mapei adhesive choice. Single-brand warranty path the customer wanted. Real trade coordination.

Vertical wall repair with the non-sag Mapei product, stayed in place during cure where a horizontal product would have slumped. Right tool for the situation.
