Laminate flooring is a multiple-layer, synthetic product held together through lamination. The top layer is a tough plastic meant to stand up to daily wear and tear. While laminate flooring is fairly durable and meant to last for years, it can scratch and scrape fairly easily. Because the surface cannot be sanded, these scratches have to be repaired with wax or putty.
Matching the Color
The key to a successful repair of a scratch or scrape on laminate flooring is matching the color of the floor. Whenever possible, contact the manufacturer of the flooring to get your repair kit directly from them. Nearly all laminate manufacturers sell repair kits that consist of wax pencils, colored putty and a putty knife to help repair minor damage. If you don't know the manufacturer of the flooring, try taking a sample with you to the store to get a repair kit that matches in color. If this isn't possible, your best option may be to get a repair kit that allows you to mix up a custom color of putty at home.
Filling Minor Scratches
Filling a few minor scratches on a laminate floor can be done with a wax pencil that matches the color of the floor. The scratch is filled in with the wax, blending it into the rest of the laminate's surface. Rub the tip of the wax pencil back and forth across the scratch in the opposite direction that the scratch is moving. Use short strokes to fill in the scratch from one end to the next. Once the scratch has been filled with wax, use a soft cloth to gently buff the edges of the repair until it blends in with the rest of the floor.
Fixing Minor Scrapes
If you have a wide scrape or a deeper scratch, a wax pencil won't be enough to fill and repair the floor. In this case, floor repair putty is used. Use either a putty knife or a wooden craft stick to spread the putty across the scrape or scratch. Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle to the floor and press the putty across the scrape from multiple angles to ensure it gets filled completely. Turn the knife on its edge and scrape it across both the surrounding floor and the repair to level off the putty and ensure a flat, even repair. The putty will harden within a day to become a permanent repair.
Repairing Major Scrapes
If you have a laminate floor board that is extremely scratched or that has very deep scrapes that go right through the top layer, wax or putty will not be enough to fill them. In this case, the board should be removed and replace. Remove the baseboard at the nearest wall and pull up the boards until you reach the damaged one. Replace it with a new board and put the other boards back in place to the wall. Remember to leave a gap at the wall for expansion and replace the baseboard back over it to finish the repair.
