Design your new fire surround as a box section to fit over the old concrete and fix either to the wall or into the old concrete then glue a mantel shelf to the top or screw down if you prefer. Then you can add mouldings and paint or varnish.

Angela this is my fireplace before and after. We had a woodworker create a custom mantel that slid right over our existing one. It's secured to the original and to the wall with screws
