I have a block/ rendered cisterna that has developed two cracks at the base. Anyone had experience of the best way to reseal ? I blame the Castor exposion the other year !

Thank Mike. However I am keeping everything crossed that the epoxy repair ( suggested by ceilidh ) will continue holding. Lasted three weeks and still looking good. Should it fail I may come back to you if you dont mind ?
