Nice job. Amazing seeing that small repair disappear as you ground and polished it smooth!
Awesome video & terrific repair! Unless one were hallucinating, they would never be able to see where that repair was done! 👍👍
Impressive repair! All the bathrooms where I live have terrazzo 'basin' floors (1920's)
From one who's done several epoxy repairs, that looks great!
For those who might be wearing headphones, you might wanna turn them down sometime before 15:37 😖...lol
Thank you! I edited using headphones, and reduced the angle grinder sound by 50%. You must have had the audio way up. Sorry
WOW what a great tutorial. Thank you!
Excellent work!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a project! I don't think I've ever seen that kind of floor. Your repair process makes me wonder how the original floor was done. If it's the same process or similar, that would have been very labor intensive. Great job, Scott!
This type of floor is quite common in the Near East and here Terrazzo tiles were the de-facto standard till the 1990-s.

*Watching RUclips contents about home maintenance produced in North America , I am always amazed by the low quality building materials : wood for studs, plaster boards (and paper:-), etc. It is as if concrete, hollow bricks and cement are restricted to apartment buildings and public projects. Building in the US seems as labor intensive. But the result seems relatively poor.
Very impressive repair!
Thank you!
@@electronicsNmore This was a cool video. The last 2 houses I've lived in both had terrazzo floors. I live in a neighborhood in Oakland Park, FL and these houses are from the 1950s-1960s.
@@electronicsNmore Hi, I am Acoucou Battery. Wondering if you would like to continue the video from a year ago about LiFePO4 batteries?
Many thanks for the video. I have damaged terrazzo that someone tried to fix with white epoxy. Other areas are chipping. But now with a little effort I know we can fix them.
I love my terrazzo floors!
Great video! I really enjoy these DIY videos!
Glad you like them!
Love this video! Good stuff.
Wow! Amazing! Thank you!
Very nice repair.
Thanks 👍
Good work
Thanks for sharing
thank you man nice job
very knowledgeable
Do you think this type of epoxy repair would work on outside terrazo floors (that get rained on)?
Great video! what speed do you grind 50 grit?
I haven't seen a terrazzo floor in probably 30 years. It must be the cost because they look awesome and are quite resistant to problems.....unless you really abuse them.
Terrazzo floors, like mine, usually have damage caused by improper removal of carpet tack wood strips. 1000 sq ft terrazzo floor would cost a minimum 25-30k, likely higher.
Great DIY video. How long does it take for the epoxy smell to dissipate? Does it go away once it dries?
After a few hours when it cures, the odor dissipates. Thanks for watching!
Can you use this process for trench restoration?
To negate any unevenness caused by grinding on an angle, you can change where you are positioned by 180 degrees [120 degrees {90 degrees}] which would prevent a valley on one side with an edge on the other. Think of an orbital sander versus a belt sander.
True, but you'll still end up creating a large depression. The block of wood I find to be the safest way. Thanks
@@electronicsNmore I agree, taking your time to sand slowly is important.
Great repair job! I need to do the same thing but having difficulty sourcing the aggregate for the repair. I live in Tidewater, Virginia. Would appreciate your assistance. I know you told others to go online for sourcing the stone for the repair, where did you go?
You need to go online and look for a company that's willing to send you samples
Thanks so much for this helpful video. I will order some products using your links. QUESTION: Do you have a source for small quantities of chipped marble aggregate to use for terrazzo repairs? I am only finding huge quantities available. Thanks, again!
You going to have to do a lot of calling locally or search online for smaller quantities
@@electronicsNmore So do you always buy large quantities -- hundreds of pounds or by the pallet or ton?
After your final grind do you use any polish to bring out the shine? Thanks.
You can apply sealer if you want
@@electronicsNmore do you have any brand recommendations?
How much does the airpods battery cost?
what do you do if you put the wrong pigment in your epoxy and the color does not match? Do you have to drill out your repair and start again? is there another way to correct the mistake?
Drill it out and start over
Excellent job. I would pu a Velcro on the wood block so the disc does not move
I did that. The water makes it fall off
@@electronicsNmore oh. Ok. Question, all products you used found in Amazon? I am having the exact problem and want to attempt to repair holes throughout the floor of a 1,300 sq ft old home 1966. Love the floor but had to tear a bad tile job done on top of it.
To remove nails in Terrazzo. If you try to pull the nail out, it will chip the Terrazzo. Use a Dremel with a cutting disc and cut the nail flush to the surface.
Exactly! Split the wood using a chisel where the nail is located then Dremel It Off
I pulled a few nails and now I have holes. That was 25 years ago, after I damaged the floor I would just hammer the nail until it was flat. Looking to fix the holes now.
Where do you get aggregrate? Are there suppliers? Or some google search?
You're going to have to search online
@@electronicsNmore where did you successfully go online? Give the dog a bone please!
The feathered edge of the repair cement on this kind of damage profile will fail, especially in a traffic area. For that situation you need tools and skill to rout out the damage to a thicker stepped-edge profile. Kind of like a dentist preparing a tooth cavity for a filling. If you mask the area with Kapton tape, it will help preserve the planar continuity of the old-new surface, instead of gouging the old work and leaving a wavy result. Consider polymer-modified sanded portland-cement grout for the cement instead of epoxy: cheaper, stronger, easier to work, less messy, color matchable.
Incorrect. The bonding surface is rough and provides very good adhesion. How do I know? I did the exact same repairs 27 years ago on another terrazzo floor that my friend now owns and all the repairs are still in tact.
I have that sort of damage every few inches the whole perimeter of every room with terrazzo floors 😖. One of the previous owners must have nailed down some carpet or something and then another owner must have taken it out and left the holes. I was hoping I could repair it instead of retiling the whole floor.
I have that too is very very close to the wall. If it's really noticeable you're going to have to pour the epoxy in there with chips and do each one

Love your videos but the audio sounds like you're across the room. You need some patreons buy you a better mic setup.
No carpet in a concrete block room, typical audio.
