Late last year a piece of coping became detached. I didn't bother fixing it until this season. It is by my stairs and I think part of the problem is that about 1/3 of the coping sits on the stairs which are made from something like plastic or vinyl and the mortar for the stone became detached. Part of the mortar essentially started to flake as you can see by the screwdriver. My pool deck material is limestone stones that were individually cut into place and the coping is also limestone that had a bullnose for the part over the pool..
How does one fix this? Chisel out the old mortar and mix up some new mortar? Is there something to be aware of? If it matters my pool is saltwater. I live in Toronto so the pool is seasonal and there will be hard freezing over the winter.
