RESTORE UGLY REPAIRS & PATCHWORK TO A UNIFORM NATURAL FINISH.
Reduce the visual contrast between repaired, patched, and existing concrete without covering the surface with paint or a thick coating.
Shop Repair KitsCan ugly concrete repairs be made less noticeable?
Yes. Once a repair is properly finished and structurally sound, Like-Nu can restore a more uniform, natural concrete appearance across the repaired and surrounding surface.

Why Concrete Repairs Don't Match
Repair materials rarely age, absorb moisture, or reflect light exactly like the surrounding slab, leaving a visible color and texture difference.
- New vs. Aged Concrete
- Different Materials
- Different Porosity
- Weathering & Exposure
Why Common Finishing Methods Fall Short
Leave the Patch Exposed
- Repair remains visible
- Color difference may increase
- Uneven finished appearance
Spot Paint or Stain
- Creates another color transition
- May not match surrounding concrete
- Can wear unevenly
Paints & Coatings
- Cover the entire surface
- Change the concrete look
- Can peel or blister

Blends repaired and surrounding concrete together for a clean, natural look, not a plastic-like coating sheen.
Penetrates & Bonds
Soaks into the concrete and bonds at a molecular level, so it won't sit on top and flake off like a surface coating.
Maintains Natural Texture
Preserves the look and feel of your existing concrete instead of covering it with a thick, uniform coating.
Lifetime Anti-Peel Warranty
Backed by a lifetime guarantee against peeling, chipping, and flaking for as long as you own your concrete.

Ugly Repair Questions, Answered.
Why does a new concrete repair look different from the old concrete around it?
New repair material rarely matches the surrounding concrete right away. It hasn't weathered, aged, or absorbed moisture the same way, so it can look lighter, darker, or more uniform than the older, patchworked concrete around it, even when the repair itself is done well.
Can Like-Nu make a repair or old patchwork completely invisible?
Like-Nu significantly reduces the visual contrast between repaired and existing concrete, but it's a restoration product, not a magic eraser. Deep textural differences or major elevation changes may still be faintly visible up close, even though the color and sheen become far more uniform.
Should the repair be finished before applying Like-Nu?
Yes. Any cracks, patches, or trip hazards should be structurally repaired and fully cured first (for example, with BEHR PREMIUM Crack Filler). Like-Nu is designed to restore color and texture across the repaired and surrounding concrete, not to structurally fix cracks or patchwork on its own.
Will Like-Nu change the concrete's texture?
Like-Nu is formulated to preserve the natural feel of your existing concrete rather than covering it with a thick, plastic-like coating, so the surface keeps a similar texture across both the repaired and original areas.
How much area does one kit cover?
This kit restores up to 400 sq. ft., depending on the age and porosity of the concrete. Coverage is based on the full surface being restored, not only the repaired spot, so measure your whole area before ordering.
