How to Repair Loose Bricks on Front Steps · Step 4 of 6
In this video
Before applying mortar, place a piece of cardboard or similar protective material on the step below the one you are working on to catch any excess. If working on multiple steps, it's recommended to start from the top and work your way down. Use a trowel to scoop a small amount of the mixed mortar. Carefully work the mortar into the prepared cracks, pushing it back and forth with the trowel to ensure it fills the void completely. Don't worry if some excess gets onto the brick surface at this stage, as it will be cleaned later.
