Landlord has poured thin latex screed to cover floor - any way to toughen this surface up?
Landlord has poured thin latex screed to cover floor unevenness but refuses to put down a finished surface. The screed is fragile and easily chipped. I only want to put non-fitted carpets down. Is there anything I can paint on top of the screed to make it into a proper tough surface that can be walked on? My DIY skills are limited as is money. I can paint but not pour concrete or anything. Advice from experts please?

I'd get it in writing telling him your concerns of the durability. Also take a ton of pictures. Then do what you want on it and is it chips document it and tell the landlord again. If he doesn't care you have back up. There's nothing i can think of other then putting a real floor in, I don't think there's pain that will help that.

latex screed is usually tough enough to withstand carpets. It's not your fault if they won't . it is unreasonable not to make the floor even enough to stand / walk on or cover. it's a potential hazard I would tell him so. Sue him if necessary.

You can coat it with a thinned PVA that will firm it up. Take your Deeds to the CAB to see what they say.
