The paper describes damages, tests and repair of the floor made on existing ceiling and expanded polystyrene concrete underlay. The floor was builtona reinforced concrete ceiling with an area of about 1050 m2. Significant damage in the form of scratches, detachments and unevenness was found in the floor. In order to determine the causes of damage, in situ tests and laboratory tests were carried out. It was found that the damage was caused by numerous performance errors. Atest repair of the damage (4,7 x 6,0 m) was carried out, and then the repair method was applied on the entire floor surface.
