Specialist Terrazzo Restoration & Sealing

There is no single fixed price for terrazzo polishing because the cost depends on several variables specific to your floor and property. The main factors we assess are: floor area (the total square meterage to be treated); current condition (the extent of scratches, staining, etching, and surface wear); grinding requirements (whether diamond grinding is needed before polishing, which adds time and specialist machinery use); repair work (any cracks, chips, or damaged sections that need filling and colour-matching); access (narrow doorways, staircases, or restricted areas); and the sealing specification (the number of sealant coats and the product appropriate for your terrazzo type). We provide a written quotation after a free on-site assessment so you know the full cost before any work begins. There are no hidden charges.

The time required depends on the size of the floor and the number of stages involved. A standard residential terrazzo floor polishing project typically takes one to two days. Larger commercial floors or floors requiring grinding, honing, repair work, and multiple coats of sealing may take longer. We give you a clear timeframe as part of your written quotation.

Terrazzo polishing is the process of bringing an existing surface to a reflective, smooth finish using diamond polishing pads. It is most effective on floors that are in reasonably sound condition but have lost their shine through wear or inadequate maintenance. Terrazzo floor restoration is a more comprehensive process required when the floor has sustained deeper damage — significant scratches, cracks, heavy staining, or years of wear that polishing alone cannot address. Restoration typically begins with diamond grinding to remove the damaged layer entirely, followed by any crack and chip repairs, then honing and polishing to bring the surface back to the desired finish. After inspecting your floor, we advise you on which service is appropriate.

For most residential terrazzo floors, professional polishing every two to five years is sufficient to maintain the surface in excellent condition, provided the floor is maintained correctly between treatments. Commercial terrazzo floors in high-traffic areas may require more frequent attention — annually or biannually depending on footfall and the type of use the floor receives. We advise you on an appropriate maintenance schedule after completing your project.

Yes. Sealing is an essential final stage of the polishing process, not an optional add-on. Once the terrazzo surface has been polished, applying a penetrating sealant closes the surface against liquid ingress, staining, and contamination. Without sealing, a freshly polished terrazzo floor is vulnerable to damage from everyday use. We use professional-grade sealants appropriate for your specific terrazzo composition and apply the number of coats required to give you durable, long-lasting protection.
