What Is Asphalt Patch?
An asphalt patch is a targeted repair method used to fix potholes, sunken areas, and deteriorated sections of asphalt surfaces. It’s a cost-effective alternative to resurfacing the entire area, making it ideal for both minor and urgent repairs.
We use a blend of cold mix asphalt, bitumen emulsion, and high-grade tar paving techniques to ensure a flexible, strong bond with the existing surface. Our method is fast, requires minimal downtime, and can be applied year-round.
At StimTar, we pride ourselves on delivering SABS-approved asphalt surfacing backed by decades of industry experience.
For more on asphalt standards in South Africa, visit the Southern African Bitumen Association (SABITA).
From private driveways to large-scale commercial roads, our team has done it all using only certified quality materials to ensure lasting results. We offer full-service solutions, from crack filling and pothole repairs to complete road construction, using modern paving equipment for maximum efficiency and precision. And for peace of mind, all our work is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty because we stand behind every surface we build.

We live quite far out, and I honestly wasn’t sure if anyone would take on our project. But StimTar not only offered a same-day quote, they were on-site two days later with a full crew! The work was spotless, and the team was professional from start to finish.
I’m very particular about the companies I work with, , I read every review and ask a million questions. From the first call, StimTar made me feel like I was in good hands. The lady who helped me was patient, answered everything, and even sent me a quote the same day. I thought, ‘Wow, these people actually care.’
The team arrived early, worked so neatly, and even swept up when they were done like they were working on their own home. Our driveway looks beautiful now, and honestly, I wish more companies operated like this
I was skeptical at first — I’ve had bad luck with contractors in the past. But the StimTar team impressed me right away. They arrived exactly when they said they would, got the quote to me in hours, and had the whole school driveway done in just a weekend. Our staff and parents are thrilled!
We needed tar surfacing for a complex parking lot, and StimTar was by far the most professional company we contacted. Uniformed workers, clean equipment, and constant communication plus they handled site access and prep like pros. Really felt like I was in good hands

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions About Tar Surfaces
What is the difference between cold asphalt and hot asphalt?
Cold asphalt is pre-mixed and can be used straight from the bag in any weather. Hot asphalt requires heating and special paving machines.
How long do tar surfaces last?
When properly installed and maintained, tar surfaces can last 15 to 20 years — even longer in low-traffic areas.
How long does an asphalt patch last?
With proper application and sealing, a cold mix asphalt patch can last several years, especially when reinforced with bitumen emulsion.
Is tar the same as asphalt?
Not exactly. Tar is a binding agent, often blended with aggregates to create asphalt tar, used in tar paving applications.
Can I patch asphalt myself?
Small DIY kits exist, but professional asphalt patching ensures the repair is long-lasting, compacted, and water-resistant.
How long before I can drive on a patch?
In most cases, traffic can resume within 1–2 hours after the repair.
What is bitumen emulsion used for?
It helps bind patch material to the old surface and is used as a primer and sealant.
