How do I repair terrazo tile?

Answered

Our floors are old and have fine line cracks running across some of them, some from one to halfway across the whole floor, I guess from things being dropped on them. Can this be repaired some way?

Hi There! I just made a quick search, and there are various products and polishes for terrazzo tile. Not really knowing how much repair you need, you might want to check them out. If you have the budget and want a whole room done, you might consider re-polishing to repair damage, and take off coats of cleaners and waxes. Best to you!

  Thank you. Should have said saltillo tile, not terrazo. First effort at this, but at least I'm trying.

They tint epoxy to the base color of the floor and add marble stone chips to match those in your floor. Then they diamond grind it smooth when set up. Then refinish the floor and seal..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykOFxBjPBrk
