Repair to exterior concrete steps risers

[Windinherhair]

Several risers on the exterior concrete steps to the front door have broken down, crumbled due to rain and frost.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get anyone to repair them. Seemingly, it's too small a job.

Anyway, we've repaired them ourselves. Although not a professional job, they don't look too bad. I'm going to give them a light sanding to tidy the finish up a bit, and then apply some kind of weatherseal.

To give the cement a better/more even finish, I'm thinking of using a grey tint in the sealer?

Can anyone recommend a good product for this? Does is have to be a specialised tint? Should I simply ensure that it's water or solvent based, depending on the sealer?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe a step edger after you have painted.
Concrete and patio paints are available but I've never used them so can't advise. Phone the paint helpline

I'd use garage floor paint. It's pretty tough. But very very smelly as it's solvent based. I guess that's what makes it so tough, though!
