Chips and cracks are easy to fix. A terrazzo contractor
will just need to max an epoxy fill to the existing floor
and then pick the matching aggregates. If done
correctly, the repair will look nearly identical to the
original terrazzo. Having the original terrazzo
contractor perform the work comes in handy as they
should have the mix design on file to eliminate the
hassle of finding the right materials to do the repair.
