  Concrete cancer. Time to knock down rebuild.

  Definitely on the same level as asbestos, silicone dust, nuclear waste material and nuclear asbestos.

  Is it spalling in just that area? Or is the whole slab kind of average?

  Watch some youtube videos, it's a bit labour intensive if you want to do it right.

  That looks like a floor drain, which means that we’re looking down (birds eye view). Correct?
  If so, simply wire brush the rust away. Paint with a rust inhibitor ( like Rust Away) then fill in the hole with 2-part Epoxy resin.
