Hello everyone. We have had a resin floor in our garage for about a year now. Unfortunately, it turned out that a cavity has formed between the concrete slab and the resin floor over an area of about 0.5 m² (5.4 sq ft). The resin floor does not seem to be properly bonded to the concrete slab at this spot. When you tap on this area, it sounds hollow. What solutions are there to fix this problem? Thanks for your responses. Best regards
Thank you for the information. How is the renewal done when quartz sand is mixed into the resin flooring?
1. Remove the old material
2. Roughen the surface where the floor is located
3. Apply primer
4. How should the quartz sand be applied? Simply sprinkled on after the primer? Or mixed together with the coating (paint?)?
5. Apply the paint coating
Have I missed anything?

Have I missed anything?
1. Remove old material_ yes
2. Roughen the floor surface where it is smooth - yes
3. Primer - yes, a bonding primer, a floor dispersion primer, specialist store.
4. How to apply the quartz sand? Simply sprinkle it after the primer? Or mix it together with the coating (paint)? - It should already be mixed into the paint bucket. Otherwise: sprinkle salt onto the wet surface, once cured, rinse with water, salt dissolves, leaving an anti-slip texture.

Hello "Dieter03".
I assume that you did not install the epoxy resin coating yourself. This requires not only expertise in substrate preparation but also experience in its application. After one year, warranty claims would still be valid against the company responsible. In this case, please avoid making any removal or repair attempts on your own.
Using a dispersion-based primer, as you described, in connection with the issue you mentioned, is a risky approach that can actually promote further damage in the same area. Anyone suggesting this clearly lacks understanding of coating technology.
Do not attempt any repairs without first identifying the root cause of the damage. So, first write a formal complaint in writing and request the necessary remedial work.
It is possible to cut out the damaged area down to the sound substrate and rebuild it after grinding the surface. However, color differences are inevitable. Since this is a less visible area, you should not expect a perfect match in terms of appearance.
Good luck!

Hello "Dieter03".
What do you mean by dispersion foundation?
Answer:
Sorry, that was obviously a typo that I didn’t notice yesterday on the tablet.
What I meant was a primer.

Why do you think there are irregularities when repairs are done?
Answer:
The visual irregularities only occur with partial repairs. It is simply not possible to create a visually uniform surface after even a short period of time and with the same color of auxiliary materials.
If a complete removal of the floor covering is done, uniformity is naturally ensured!
---------------------------------------
Why shouldn’t demolition work be done yourself?
Answer:
Well, coating technology requires not only specialized knowledge but also proper equipment for processing.
Intensive grinding of the concrete surface, evaluation of the exposed surface, the two-component (2K) reactive resin coating, and the time frame within which the surface protection must be applied at the latest, as well as venting with a spiked roller, etc.
A successful result, which generally applies to all floor covering and coating work, can only be achieved if all technical guidelines are known and followed.
Some trades should not be handled by amateurs; that is the simplest and clearest answer here — without any intention of discrediting anyone.
