Signs You Need Terrazzo Restoration

Terrazzo floors are known for their durability and beauty, but even these resilient surfaces require professional attention over time. Recognizing when your terrazzo needs restoration can save you from more extensive repairs later.

Visible Cracks and Chips

Cracks and chips in terrazzo flooring not only detract from its appearance but can worsen if left unaddressed. These damages often occur from heavy impacts, structural movement, or age-related wear.


When you notice even small cracks forming, it's time to call professionals. At Los Angeles Flooring Company, we can repair these issues before they expand and require more extensive restoration work.

Dull or Discolored Surface

A loss of shine or uneven coloration indicates your terrazzo floor needs professional attention. This dulling can result from improper cleaning products, foot traffic, or simply the passage of time.



Professional restoration can bring back the original luster of your terrazzo. We use specialized equipment and techniques to polish and restore the vibrant appearance that makes terrazzo so desirable.

Rough or Uneven Texture

When your once-smooth terrazzo feels rough underfoot or shows visible unevenness, restoration is necessary. This textural change often indicates wear to the protective sealant or grinding of the surface materials.



We can address these issues through professional grinding, polishing, and resealing processes. Our restoration services ensure your terrazzo regains its characteristic smooth, elegant finish that's both beautiful and functional.

Inspection and Assessment


We begin every terrazzo restoration project with a thorough inspection of your floor's condition. Our trained technicians evaluate the extent of damage, identify the type of terrazzo, and document any cracks, chips, stains, or worn areas requiring attention.


This assessment allows us to determine the appropriate restoration method and provide you with an accurate cost estimate. We examine the floor's composition, whether it's cement-based or resin-based terrazzo, as this affects our approach to restoration.


During this phase, we also test small areas to determine the best polishing techniques and products for your specific terrazzo type. Our detailed evaluation ensures we address all issues and develop a customized restoration plan tailored to your floor's unique needs.


Terrazzo Repair and Stain Removal


Our repair process targets damaged areas with precision techniques that seamlessly match your existing terrazzo. For cracks and chips, we fill them with color-matched epoxy or cementitious materials that blend perfectly with the surrounding floor.


We specialize in removing tough stains without damaging the terrazzo surface. Our technicians use specialized cleaning solutions that penetrate deep into the porous areas where conventional cleaners fail.


For more extensive damage, we can replace sections of terrazzo by carefully cutting out the damaged area and installing new terrazzo that matches the original pattern and color. We also address uneven surfaces through professional grinding techniques that restore a uniform appearance.


Polishing and Sealing


Our multi-step polishing process transforms dull, worn terrazzo into lustrous, light-reflecting surfaces. We use diamond grinding techniques at progressively finer grits to achieve the desired shine level, from matte to high-gloss finishes.


The polishing process not only enhances appearance but also removes minor surface imperfections and creates a smoother, more durable floor. This mechanical process is environmentally friendly and doesn't rely on harsh chemicals.


After polishing, we apply premium-quality penetrating sealers that protect your terrazzo from stains, moisture, and daily wear. Our sealants are specifically formulated for terrazzo and maintain its natural beauty while providing long-lasting protection.

FAQs on Terrazzo Restoration

Our clients often have specific questions about the terrazzo restoration process. Below we address the most common inquiries to help you better understand what to expect when choosing our professional terrazzo restoration services.

  • What causes terrazzo floors to lose their shine and luster?

    Terrazzo floors lose their shine due to daily foot traffic, improper cleaning products (especially acidic or harsh chemicals), inadequate maintenance routines, ground-in dirt and debris, and surface scratches. Over time, the protective sealer wears down, allowing moisture and contaminants to penetrate the surface and dull the appearance.

  • How much does terrazzo restoration cost in Los Angeles?

    In Los Angeles, terrazzo restoration typically costs between $5-12 per square foot. Basic restoration starts around $5-7 per square foot, while severely damaged floors requiring extensive repairs can cost $10-12+ per square foot. Factors affecting cost include damage severity, extent of repairs needed, floor accessibility, and whether specialized treatments are required.

  • How long does terrazzo restoration take for a 1,000 sq ft space?

    Restoring 1,000 square feet of terrazzo typically takes 2-4 days, depending on the floor's condition. Basic restoration of floors in fair condition might be completed in 2 days, while severely damaged floors requiring extensive repairs could take 4-5 days. The timeline includes surface preparation, repairs, grinding, polishing, and sealing.

  • Can you restore terrazzo with deep cracks and missing chips?

    Yes, terrazzo with deep cracks and missing chips can be restored. The process involves cleaning the damaged areas, filling cracks with matching epoxy or cement, replacing missing chips with matching aggregate, grinding the surface to ensure uniformity, and finally polishing and sealing. Even severely damaged terrazzo can be brought back to its original beauty with proper restoration techniques.
