  • Honestly this has been attempted at a fix but judging by it I'm not sure the repair will last even 6 months. Its nowhere near as neat and sufficient as the other one fixed on the same day. This literally looks like they've just used up what was left of the tarmac and smacked it over the worst or deepest part. If it were me I'd have them back and not pay the contractor till the job was done right and adequately.
