Concrete Deck Coatings Recommendation Please

My concrete deck was stained, but that "stain" is getting mottled and looks bad. I also have a leaky pipe that I may have to fix and the patch will not match.

Does anyone make a coating, stain, etc that looks good? I don't want it to look like painted surface, rather, I just want it to look like concrete.

I'm thinking that no one really makes anything that will be permanent, and that I will have to have this done every XXXX years which may be OK.

My hope was that the technology has come along so there is something new that is really good for someone that wants their concrete to look uniform, that may cover up a patch or future patches.

Did you find any recommendations?

Not so much on coatings unfortunately. Sandblasting and putting a repair layer of concrete on top of the whole pool area which I am skeptical of.

I think I will cut a square around the pool filler, remove it and repair the pipe. patch with concrete and then sandblast to minimize the different color although it will be there. Everyone is telling me that the only person that will notice the patch is me and most people will just say "beautiful yard"
