Cement is a component of concrete which is what you are asking about.
If the curbs are on your property (not city street) you could drill into the broken area and insert metal rods to hold the repair and form the cement/concrete to the original shape. Use a binder on the old surface to bond the new material. If it is the street curb, check with the city department. Some areas require a licenced pro to do the work.
BREAK OUT THE OLD CEMENT...LEVEL IT AND GET FORMS OR MAKE THEM..BUY A BAG OF CEMENT AND REDO IT..FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON THE BAG..ALSO ASK AT THE PLACE YOU PURCHASE THE CEMENT..MAKE SURE YOU PUT KEEP OFF TAPE OR SOMETHING TO BLOCK THIS AREA OFF UNTIL IT IS DRY...
