Laminate flooring - scratches

azzabazza

Whilst moving some cupboards the other day I have managed to slightly scratch laminate flooring in one small area (a piece of grit I think).

It isn't too bad but if anyone knows of anything I can use to rub in to disguise the scratches I would be grateful. The flooring is beech.

I've used colouring wax. Available from the sheds etc.comes in different shades of wood. Just rub in and wipe off. It's ideal for small scratches.

Use Konig hard wax.

Brilliant stuff and if you take your time to do the repair properly, you'll never see it.

You can get a kit that includes the hot 'knife' applicator but there's none on ebay at the moment.

Obviously you can buy elsewhere but ebay was the cheapest by far when I bought mine.

Thanks for your advice. Will head to B&Q tomorrow. And failing that have a look at Ebay.

Actually had to go out for something else this afternoon and got a small pot of scratch repair for light wood. Have applied a couple of times so far, wiping off excess and it is looking good. Fortunately the scratches were only on the surface. Probably another couple of goes and it will be fine.

I also found another use for it - a cupboard top I had over zealously wiped months ago. The same principle in that I think building up the layers will work.

Thanks again.
