How do I fix my walkway?
Hi all, my walkway is old, now has holes in it and it needs to be sealed because when it rains the dirty water off of it runs down the inside of the paint on the wall below. What can I use to fix it? Concrete leveller then paint or sealer?
Wall from walkway down to steps

I am confused. How does a pathway correlate with painted walls. What am I missing?
i believe it is the face of the step down, not a "wall" so-to-speak.
Yes, use a good quality leveler. IMPORTANT: Follow cure time “to the letter” in regards to prepping/painting/sealing. If unsure, contact their tech department and speak directly to them before buying ANY of the products (find the brand that will work best for you). 🌷
You would need a to fill the holes with a concrete crack filler either in a bottle or caulk tube. Then resurface the walk.

Doesn't hurt to also use a quality sealer as they are not made equally - a great one would not only improve appearance but also last a long time. According to this source (jump to the latter part of the article), your best choice are penetrating sealers like siliconate, silane, silicate and siloxane as these go deep into the concrete and are made especially for enduring harsher elements that your walkway would encounter.
