We have a small pond with cement slabs round it, I have wire hooks

Some of the grout is getting a bit decrepit and we're thus losing the

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?

The usual alternative is sand epoxy mix, not cheap though. Bitumen gets used occasionally.

Any particular recommendations? It sounds ideal for my requirement
especially as I don't have any ordinary cement at the moment so SBR
plus cement would be as costly (and more inconvenient) than a 'one
item' filler like this.

I've found quite a few possibles with a search for epoxy + grout but
I'd appreciate some pointers.

I don't have enough experience with them to recommend one. Just don't make the classic mistake of thinking you can add a bit more sand & get away with it. Epoxy is expensive, sand cheap, they don't contain any more epoxy than is needed.
