Is there a quick,easy and cheap way of repairing scatches in laminate flooring?

Question

My daughter has made some scratches in my laminate flooring and i would really like to repair them. I'm on an very low budget.

Answer 1

laminate floor companies sell repair kits through hardware stores. but they aren't cheap (for what you get) The wax repair kits work. If you have a shoe polish that matches in color, that will work as well if the scratches aren't too deep.

Answer 2

go to hardware store and get a tube ( can) of carpenters wood filler. It will come in various colors. JUst match your color. Don't be stuck on color name just match the color. I have a cherry laminate but the color that best matches mine says cedar. Cost usually less than 3.00 bucks. Squeeze some out and push into the scratch make it smoothe as possible and let dry. if it is rough then sand it down. You can use an emery board file in a pinch.

Answer 3

try getting a polish with the colour as close as possible to the laminate colour

Answer 4

You can get some kinda like wax crayons from places like Bettaware and Kleeneze, they come in a variety of different colours so you can match it to your floor.
