Hi Joe,
I was going to try to put some forms and repair myself, with quick
setting cement and latex-based concrete adhesive (that you mix into
the concrete to promote better bonding with the existing concrete).
But as you suggest, I may want to see what a concrete pro may
recommend or offer, as a more long-lasting solution.
Cheers,
--Robert
