Can Terrazzo be repaired?
Yes, terrazzo flooring can be repaired in most cases, and it is one of the key advantages of choosing terrazzo as a flooring material. Unlike many other floor finishes that require full replacement when damaged, terrazzo can often be restored, patched, or refinished to extend its lifespan significantly.
Because terrazzo is a composite material made from stone aggregates and a binder, repairs can be carefully matched to the existing surface. When carried out by experienced terrazzo specialists at Andrews Tiles, repairs can blend seamlessly with the surrounding floor, preserving both appearance and performance.
What Types of Terrazzo Damage Can Be Repaired?
Terrazzo is highly durable, but over time it may experience wear or damage, particularly in high-traffic areas. Common issues that can be repaired include:
-
Cracks caused by substrate movement
-
Chips or impact damage
-
Surface wear and dullness
-
Small holes or voids
-
Staining or discolouration
-
Damaged expansion or movement joints
In many cases, these issues can be resolved without removing large sections of the floor, making repair a cost-effective solution for both residential and commercial properties.
At Andrews we are highly trained and specialised in repairing Terrazzo across the whole of the UK. We are the UK leading Terrazzo repair specialists.
Is It Better to Repair or Replace Terrazzo?
In most cases, repairing terrazzo is more practical and cost-effective than full replacement. Terrazzo floors are designed to last for decades, and repairs help maximise that lifespan.
Replacement may only be necessary where the damage is extensive, the subfloor has failed, or the terrazzo has been incorrectly installed. A professional inspection allows an informed decision to be made based on condition, usage, and long-term requirements.
For many properties in the UK, repair and restoration provide excellent value while maintaining the original character of the floor.
