Question:

how to resurface old cement floor, diy,?

is there a sealer product for a diy person...or what else is available... it is a laundry room in the basement in a 40 yr. old raised ranch house..no water problems...the surface has small pitting in one area..we have considered flash coating and vinyl flooring and click flooring tiles...looking for a diy solution....

Answer:

paint it with concrete floor paint like in a garage
I would apply a thick coat of self-leveling flooring cement/ flooring compound. There are quite a few different types but basically you just mix it up and skim the surface with it until it is fully covered and any low areas filled. It literally levels the surface ready for carpet of other flooring. You can get cement based latex or epoxy resin types. Sika Latex Self Levelling is one product commonly used by DIY's where I live
