Sep 25, 2017 at 14:48 comment added Jack Nothing will stain the same as the concrete floor, what I am trying to say is unless a picture reveals the cracks are structural failure. Minor cracking that normally occurs in the curing of concrete or the seasonal movement, is of no concern. I would leave the crack alone, stain the floor, and then if that bothers you, then treat the cracks with something that is color compatible with the new color or even a clear caulk which will pull the color of the floor and its' variations.

Sep 23, 2017 at 4:43 comment added Jack Cracks happen, many times with no concern. I would be more concerned how the concrete stain would take differently on the repair compared to the rest of the floor
