I get a bucket of premixed concrete at Home Depot and it spreads very easily.
You can buy a bag of mortar, mix it according to direction, and carefully fill in the damages areas with a small tuck-pointing trowel designed for this work. Wet the old mortar with a sprayer before adding the new mortar. Then lightly spray the mortar you added with water every half hour or so as it hardens. If it is in direct sun, cover it with something, or wait until it is out of the sun. Cement products work best if they are kept moist as they set slowly.
Yes they sell premixed pails and they set fast, no worrie, under 12 buckets
You can purchase the premix pails and also get the small trowel tool. I also found that using an icing bag to put the mix in then use the trowel to even it out works
They actually sell bags for concrete that look like an icing bag. But an icing bag will work, too!
Get yourself a mortar tuck pointing trowel, it will make much easier to get in the joints and smooth it. Homestore or hardware store should have one.
