Service · Terrazzo Floor Cleaning
Terrazzo floor cleaning & polishing
Terrazzo is a statement floor — and it deserves a finish to match. We grind, hone and polish terrazzo back to a seamless, glass-smooth surface that shows off every aggregate chip.
Overview
What this service involves
Whether it’s a mid-century original or a modern poured terrazzo, dull or scratched terrazzo is almost always a surface problem, not a structural one. Years of foot traffic and improper cleaning leave a hazy film that hides the aggregate’s natural colour and depth.
Our terrazzo restoration removes that film through a controlled grinding and polishing sequence, fills any hairline cracks or pits, and finishes with a protective seal that keeps the surface easy to maintain.
Benefits
Why clients choose this service
Glass-smooth shine
Progressive diamond polishing brings out the full depth and colour of the aggregate.
Seamless repairs
Cracks and chips are filled and blended so joints disappear into the finished floor.
Easier upkeep
A sealed, polished surface resists staining and is far quicker to clean day to day.
Built to last
Correctly restored terrazzo can look showroom-fresh for a decade or more.
Common problems
Problems we solve every week
Dull, hazy surface
A cloudy film from old coatings and wear is ground away to reveal the original clarity.
Hairline cracking
Common in older terrazzo — filled and polished flush to prevent dirt ingress and further spreading.
Uneven wear patterns
High-traffic paths that have dulled faster than the rest of the floor are levelled and re-polished as one.
Grout line staining
Divider strips and grout lines are cleaned and refreshed alongside the main polish.
01
Survey the floor
We check aggregate type, existing coatings and any cracking before selecting the grinding sequence.
02
Grind & flatten
Coarse diamond grinding removes surface damage and old coatings, exposing fresh terrazzo.
03
Fill & refine

Polish & seal
