Stamped concrete patio help

I have an elevated stamped concrete patio that is crumbling in spots & breaking away from the railing posts. Any ideas how to save it without replacing it?

You would think there would be a liquid you could pour on and it would set up stabilizing and preserving. Not from what I can find. Perhaps that kind of material would cause more problems by not allowing the concrete to breathe.

Hi Nancy, often when concrete starts crumbling it is because the base it is sitting on is no longer supporting it fully. is it possible that that is why yours is starting to break a part?
Just use a latex modified concrete patching compound. Taper the patch around the railings so water runs off and doesn't sit there. Stamped concrete needs to be resealed every 2 to four years.
Best solution for the sections that have broke away is to remove them and pour fresh concrete.
Thank you.
