Restoring terrazzo floors to their original splendour requires expertise, precision, and the right techniques. At Terrazzo UK, we've perfected our restoration process across countless projects in Mayfair and Shoreditch. Here's our comprehensive guide to professional terrazzo restoration.

Initial Assessment and Preparation

Before beginning any restoration work, our specialists conduct a thorough assessment of your terrazzo surface. This crucial step helps identify:

Extent of wear and damage
Presence of cracks or chips requiring specialist repairs
Previous treatments or sealants
Underlying structural issues

Deep Cleaning and Strip Back

The first hands-on phase involves removing old sealants and built-up grime:

Application of professional-grade stripping agents
Mechanical scrubbing to remove stubborn residues
Thorough rinsing to neutralise cleaning agents

Repair and Restoration

Once cleaned, we address any damage through our terrazzo patch repairs service:

Filling cracks and chips with colour-matched compounds
Replacing damaged sections where necessary
Addressing lippage and uneven surfaces

Diamond Grinding and Polishing

The transformation really begins during this phase:

Progressive grinding with diamond tools
Multiple passes with increasingly finer grits
Honing to achieve the desired finish
Final polishing for maximum shine

Sealing and Protection

The final stage involves protecting your restored terrazzo:

Application of penetrating sealers
Surface protection coating
Burnishing for enhanced durability

Ongoing Maintenance

To maintain your restored terrazzo, consider our professional maintenance programs. Regular maintenance prevents the need for future major restorations. Learn more in our guide about common terrazzo problems and their solutions.
