Help! I chipped my new concrete floor!

[toyoguy81]

Hey guys, had a new floor poured in November 2018 in my lean-to addition on my pole barn shop. Yesterday I dropped a ginormous brake drum and a nickel size chip popped out of the floor!...any suggestions on how to full this in for a proper fix. This floor isn't even 3 months old , and my concrete guy told me to re-seal in summer. This floor is 5 inches thick. Mainly for storage and parking cars. I just don't want any further damage done to it of I can help it. Anything you guys suguest that I can fill it in with? Thanks in advance.

Ardex feather finish. 10 lbs is 25 bucks but it works and is a fairly light grey finish. Dont use lots of water when sponging smooth and feathering if you have a "darker" grey concrete. Use water for lighter grey.

Tape outside edge and install ardex. No primer needed just clean and dust free. When it sets a little stiff (quick set) then remove tape and truly feather out smooth to surrounding slab

Also you can us some of the polyurea file vendors on here have with sand but expensive also and wouldn't match as well.

There are a ton of different concrete patch materials available at Home Depot. Pick one and patch it. I would bet you could even use JB Weld for that teensy chip.
This is why I crack up when I see everyone with the garage floors that look better than some show cars. If you are going to actually do work in the garage the floor will get messed up, period.

Now that it is broken in it's ready to be worked in.

Hopefully the first of many. It's a sign that the space is being used. I look at the spots, dings,and overspray/dripped paint on my floor and it's a reminder of the projects done there, many with kids and grandkids.

Ha like I told my boss when I got done brush clearing with the new tractor.

He said "Hey you put scratches on it"

I said "Yup gives it character"

Our Crack Repair Epoxy Putty is like an epoxy 'bondo' and would work. You may need to put in 2-3 layers and then grind it down smooth. Its stronger than concrete and is a medium gray color. We also sell it in smaller quantities and you only mix what you need.

I’m with the add character crowd. If I fixed a spot like that I know it would stick out like a pimple. I would see it every time I walked in. In the long run the chip would bother me less than the repair.

I'd fill with JB WELD or Bonds if the chip was causing me heart palpitations and high anxiety.

A nickel sized chip! OMG. I’m thinking a big box store would have a fix for that....or your local Avon representive.
