Damage to concrete floor after taking up tiles

    Hi, I took up tiles in my kitchen but during the process some of the skimmed concrete on top of the subfloor came up (see pics attached).

    Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use to fill in the gaps? Some sort of self levelling cement? Does an agent need to be used?

    Is any of it loose, I'd take up whatever is loose or flaky, prime it and level compound over the whole lot

    Your tiler will add levelling compound or their choice to rectify that issue.

    What is the new flooring that you are planning?

    Either way the tiler or wooden floor fitter will handle it, if you are doing it yourself then as above, remove anything lose and then prime and use self levelling compound. Depending on the compound you might not even need a primer, but do remove anything loose

    We're going engineered wood flooring.

    Thanks, yea I'm going to take up anything loose, tidy and apply a self leveling cement to patch the areas that are damaged. I'm hoping it will be sufficient for the lads on install day!

    Do not depend on the fitters to sort out the floor. Have the fitters already measured up the room?
