Best way to deal with concrete steps
Old concrete steps at back door are crumbling & splitting. Badly needing advice given how best to fix. Do they need replaced ?
Expert Trade Answers
"The easiest way would be to cover steps with Indian sand stone or concrete slabs, depending on how much height you have there.

"Hi
Without seeing them, difficult to fully advise, but if they are cracked, the concrete is failing, its likely safer to build new or if the damage is superficial (the steps remain structurally sound), you could pave them with sandstone steps, indian sandstone paving or porcelain paving..... hope this helps."

"Difficult to give you an accurate answer without seeing the steps. You may be able to lay slabs on top of them but it depends how bad the situation is."
