Default Alternatives to cement for grouting slabs round pond

Some of the grout is getting a bit decrepit and we're thus losing the
hooks so I want to re-grout. Cement is not a 'good thing' in ponds
and I'm wondering if there are any alternatives I could use. There's
not a lot of bulk required, something stickier and gooier than cement
with (maybe) a bit of flexibilty would suit the job well.

Any ideas anyone?


I know a man who does

I also wondered, if it is a small area and you could set the anchors
/below/ the pointing, about a sealant (e.g. the grey stuff sold as lead
sealant). IIRC is used in some places on paving, and expert has at
least one example - movement joints
