pitted damaged concrete floor repair?

[whensparksfly]

I have a damaged floor in the workshop it's a strip 3ft by 10ft it has worn away on the surface but the floor itself is strong.ls there any self level or other product that can be put on the floor and be hard wearing thanks for any help

Possibly scarifying and repair with epoxy. There's a firm called Watco that produce various repair products.

Depending how thick it is theres plenty of crowds thatl grind a bit off leaving it smooth

you can hire a concrete floor grinder from good hire shops, i intend to get one here to do a shed sometime to take some of the power float marks from round the edges that i missed.
i have no idea as to how fast it is but there was two sizes in the place i asked, HSS, not too dear for the job they do.
one of them is about the cheapest route imo but it would depend on how deep you would need to cut it before it was acceptable.

if it was deep then a scabbler might be needed first and then a grinder, but now your getin close to other options but either way your going to have to prep the floor anyways.

Clean it well and use self levelling compound.
if it is too stony looking then those concrete cutting levellers will only pull
the loose stuff out and you will just keep getting deeper and deeper.
I have a bad floor area too, and am going to put half or 5/8 plates on it on top of
self levelling cement.
If this had of been done originally the floor would be fine, but after decades of
digger buckets and other heavy items being tossed on it, and certain people
hammering iron straight on it, it will need the plates.

for a man thats just bought his first mig welder its surprising the floor is so bad.
if you think the welder was dear, wait til ya price a few 16mm plates of steel.

I take it you are referring to me as I mentioned the 5/8 plate, I bought my first mig welder 30 years ago,
and am well aware of the price of steel.
I also said after decades the floor has become damaged, so why the need to bring any
of this up.

no reason, just when i seen you had a new mig bought i thought it was the step up from the bantam you mentioned is all.
i didnt know youi had a mig before this one.

altho , on a foot note.
personally, i find you come across a wee bit strong lad, you may not mean to and you could be just typing as you would say it which is normal enough but for a fourm you kind of have to come across a bit less aggressive while still geting across what you want to say.
you may have emotion in what your saying but I read it as a script, its easy to come across wrong when you dont mean to at all.
on the other hand it might only be me that feels that way, so take it any way you want but dont take it as a dig, i mean no harm in it at all.

I wasn't even going to comment on what you wrote because I could see no where that I posted this was my first mig, so then
I read the thread again, and seen that I explained my floor situation, so again I could not understand why you posted about it being
damaged in a short space of time, and then I thought to myself Id better explain.
I am not sure why you see what I wrote as aggressive.

I had some imperfections in my new concrete floor that I wanted to sort prior to painting, had a chat to some people that do huge floors in factories etc, they said to use P38 or similar, I have done and so far it seems good.

lem,
Good job, I suppose it all depends on the extent of the problem.
In my case a few steel plates will help the floor, especially when with heavy objects at the access point.
