Cracked balcony edge

Cracked balcony edge

The edge of our balcony is cracking and lets water in (although so far have not noticed any leaks into the house; balcony overhangs the front patio). This was noted in the inspection report before we moved into the house. I've had trouble finding someone to fix this as it's such a small job so will likely need to fix it myself. One of the trades who came to look at it suggested duct tape over the top to stop the majority of the water seeping in, that was almost 2 years ago now and the duct tape is still there - figure it might be time to do something more permanent.

 

I was thinking I either try to regrout the edge but that could be quite messy.

 

Alternatively most of the trades suggestions have been to get a 1mm sheet of aluminium cut to size and affix that to cover the edge. This might be beyond my capabilities (don't want to drill and crack the existing balcony even more) and I've no idea where to order something like that from.

 

Any other suggestions?
