HELP!! Gouges in laminate flooring

Karma67

It looks like something heavy has deopped in our hallway onto the laminate flooring...in the middle of it...not near any edges :mad:

Anyone know how we can fix this apart from pulling up the whole lot and relaying it with a new piece???

It's a light oak/beech colour!

HELP!!

Thanks

has the wood been compressed or actually scraped out?

If compressed then put a damp tea towel over it and iron it with a steam iron (on steam).

Yes this worked for me on a small dent in the kitchen flooring of our last house. I also tried some of the repair tubes you can buy in B&Q in the different colours. This was only partially successful. Flooring only lasted a couple of years and was enough to out me off laminate for ever!

What about a hall runner if it is very noticable after your best efforts?

if you've got the dent out with steam - or it is just a scratch and not too deep, you can 'fill' the scratch with a repair stick. i got some from liberon - from homebase i think, and it came in 3 colours per pack. sort of a soft wax crayon, rub into scratch, leave to dry then buff off. filled a small hole in my floor where we dropped the iron [of course it landed on the sharpest bit!]also really useful for touching up the edges of wood effect furniture.
