The paper presents selected properties of cement mortars for repairing underwater concrete construction elements. Mortars were made with the addition of five kinds of polypropylene fiber with a constant content of other components of mortar, including a stabilizing dopant. The fibers differed from the structure and the length of which ranged between 12 and 38 mm. Particular attention was paid to the determination of losses mortars, which are made by method MC-1. For all the mortars were also made by standards tests of mechanical properties after 7 and 28 days of curing under water.
