Recently moved to a new house with lovely entrance stairs. But they became very slippery when it froze, so I salted… Oops, I didn't know you're supposed to avoid salt on such surfaces. Now I'm asking for some good advice and tips on how to proceed to repair the damage. What type of mortar should be used? Do you need to reinforce?
 
  • Concrete entrance steps with visible salt damage and corner chips.
  • Damaged concrete steps with surface erosion caused by salt.

Repairs on concrete stone are challenging aesthetically...
Stones like yours are usually not reinforced...
But if the damage isn't too deep, you can use cement mortar-A for repairs; if it's deeper, you'll need to set up a board as a mold and cast with fine concrete...
Just make sure to clean thoroughly beforehand😊
