4 Tips to Fix Scratches on Stained Concrete Floors

 

Stained concrete floors are durable, colorful, and attractive. Even though the concrete floors are tough, they are still susceptible to damage like any other flooring. Accidents, improper care, or even the normal use of the floor can put a scratch on the floor. However, the best way to repair the damage depends upon how severe it is, and a concrete coating company can help you out with this.

Here are the top 4 tips that may help you to fix the scratches:

Concrete scratches

If you find scratches in the concrete, one effective solution is to polish and regrind the concrete with a concrete polishing machine. These machines make use of wheels embedded with a hand grinding material to wear down the concrete in thin layers and both polish the surface and smoothen it up. The results may vary depending on the extent of the damage, your concrete, and what kind of stain you used.

 

Sealer scratches

If the floor lacks finish, you may have scratches on the sealer. However, there’s no need to worry as you can reapply the sealer. In case you are looking for a quick fix on a confined or small area, wipe down the area with a solvent. Later you can apply a light coating of the new sealer.

 

Finish scratches

Your concrete floor may develop scratches from ordinary use, even if you are taking its care. Stained concrete floors need proper sealing to protect the floor and often have a finish, like wax over the sealer. You can always restore the scratches in this finish by application of a new finish.

 

Prevention

The most crucial way to prevent any further problems or protect your work from work after the repair is to keep your floor clean. Weekly dust mopping with a microfiber dust mop is ideal and will remove most dust particles. A buildup of dirt may act as an abrasive to your floor and scratch it.

Apart from this, you can hire a professional concrete coating service who can help you by providing the best services.
