A cosmetic repair (filling and patching) does not work for a structural crack. The cause for the structural crack must first be evaluated before the most optimum repair method can be determined. This may involve stabilising the foundations such as underpinning, strengthening weakened elements such as reinforcing the structure with additional steel or other materials etc.
