They can be refinished by a professional floor contractor. after which they would be sparkling and look good as new ( if the contractor agrees)

This is a great hack, works fantastic on water marks, scratches and other damage to wood surfaces. Take some ashes, any kind, like cigarette, cigar or barbecue. With a damp cloth dip it in ashes and rub mark until the mark is gone. -

Oh, DON'T paint them!!! Terrazzo is now considered a high-end floor finish ... my childhood home had terrazzo floors, and they were great to lay on in hot weather (we didn't have AC then)! I would take terrazzo over tile any time ... hate grout! It's very, very difficult to install terrazzo in finished houses, since it's a concrete pour, and it's now very expensive since it's labor intensive. Call a pro in to polish your floors and you will love them.
