Concrete Resurfacing Removal
-
KMS Woodworks on Aug 16, 2012The leading cause of resurfacing problems is poor prep...where it is coming off are the trouble areas...you may have some luck re-working these and resurfacing the entire area. In the worst case you may need to have the whole area ground down.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Aug 21, 2012If the material has lifted from the substrate it is only a matter of time before it cracks and brakes away. Any luck with the picHelpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Aug 22, 2012ugh...that is a mess. One question you need to ask your self is how much time money and effort you want to put into this? Because of the color, your cheapest routed would be to paint the whole she bang...the texture would still be off but at least is would look better. In that case using a right angle grinder to ease the "edges" of where the surfacing broke away would reduce the chance of it getting worse and tripping etc. Your could resurface again which would be a lot of work. What might be the best option is installing some tile over the whole thing. A nice textured porcelain tile would be slip resistant and give a nice uniform look. That tile should be set with a polymer modified thin set...after the lose bits are grinder touched up.Helpful Reply

Mary P on Aug 22, 2012At this point, I have taken up all that has buckled underneath. We have tried sanding and scraping. I have to depend on others t do it for me. Maybe, I could just put a light layer of concrete over it and paint it.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Aug 23, 2012that may work but there seems to be a texture pattern there in the areas that have not failed. Matching that would be key to making it look uniform.Helpful Reply
