Contractor-Grade Pothole Repair Products

Contractor-grade pothole repair products are the trade-spec material pavement contractors put their warranty behind when they bill a client. Consistent batch quality, written warranty, predictable supply chain, and chemistry that performs the same every time the bag opens.

Road Solutions AUS supplies trade-spec cold-mix to pavement contractors, road maintenance crews, civil subcontractors and facilities specialists across Australia. This page covers what separates contractor-grade from retail, and how to set up a supply arrangement that keeps you stocked and competitive on bids.

What contractor-grade means in practice

Contractor-grade product is consistent batch to batch, comes with a warranty you can pass through to your client, and ships in pack sizes that suit truck loadout and depot storage. The chemistry doesn't shift between deliveries; the aggregate gradation is on spec every time; the polymer binder loading is the same in batch 100 as in batch 1.

The Road Solutions AUS trade range is manufactured to that consistency standard in Northgate, Queensland, with batch QC before despatch.

Standard contractor inventory

A typical pavement contractor carries 7 Gauge for general work, 10 Gauge for heavy traffic, 14 Gauge for deep voids and a drum of crack filler for preventative jobs. Pallet quantities of 7 and 10 Gauge, with smaller stocks of 14 and crack filler, cover virtually every callout from a single yard.

  • Pallet of 7 Gauge — everyday workhorse
  • Pallet of 10 Gauge — highway and heavy traffic
  • Smaller stock of 14 Gauge — deep voids on demand
  • 19 L drum of Rubberised Crack Filler — preventative work

Supply, freight and trade accounts

Trade accounts with invoiced terms set up by phone. Volume pricing on pallet quantities. Same-day dispatch on stock items from the Northgate facility. Freight-inclusive quotes to anywhere in Australia, including remote and regional addresses.

Standing orders take the stock management work out of the picture — set the trigger quantity, we ship automatically.

Field productivity and bid economics

Cold-mix transforms job throughput. A repair that historically required a hot-mix subcontract callout — minimum half-day mobilisation, traffic management, kettle warm-up, application, rolling — becomes a 15-minute job for a single operator. That productivity translates directly into competitive bid economics on maintenance contracts.

Many contractors report 3–5× more completed callouts per day after switching to cold-mix.
