I don't remember the brand but I have used filler to fix parts in a slab that was hit with a hammer and had chips missing like that. It was in a can and you mix with water, it adhered much better than expected.

For a finish, that etching stain they sell works great and gives different color shades in which ever color you chose. You just spray it on with a pump up sprayer like you would spray weed killer or bug spray. coat the whole thing. Since your inside you may have to mop it later instead of hosing, Mop with a little water and baking soda to stop the etching. A few day later after it's good and dry use a paint roller and paint on the clear which dries in a couple hours. After a couple of coats your done and you have a finish tough enough to use on a driveway and look good for many years.

We have a few floors done like that here and they look good and nothing else ever has to be done with it. It is really easy and permanent and cheaper than almost any floor covering.

Not mine but it looks like this as far as different shades, the cement determines the different shades of whatever color you pick.
