Question 1

Can laminate flooring be repaired if it is chipped or scratched?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most chips, dents and scratches in laminate flooring can be repaired without replacing boards. The damaged area is rebuilt using specialist laminate filler, sanded smooth and prepared for colour work. Because many laminate floors imitate wood or patterned finishes, the colour stage requires careful recreation of tones and details by hand. This allows the repair to blend naturally into the surrounding floor without lifting or replacing sections.

Question 2

How is a laminate surface actually repaired?

Accepted Answer

The damaged section is first cleaned and trimmed if the impact has raised the edges. It is then filled with the correct laminate filler and sanded flat. After this, the colour matching process begins, which is the most detailed part of the repair. Pigments are mixed to match the exact shade of the laminate before sealing the area with protective coatings.

Question 3

What happens after colour matching on laminate?

Accepted Answer

After the base colour is matched, we carry out detailed paint work by hand to recreate patterns, shadows and fine lines that imitate wood grain or decorative laminate finishes. This step is essential for laminate that looks like timber or veneer, where simple colouring would make the repair visible. The hand detailing allows the repaired section to disappear into the surrounding pattern.

Question 4

Do you repair laminate worktops and panels as well as floors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We repair laminate kitchen worktops, cupboard doors, panels, window frames and other laminated surfaces. Some of these require detailed hand painting, while others may require careful spraying to recreate the original finish evenly across the repaired area.

Question 5

Is laminate repair visible after completion?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, the repair blends into the surrounding surface and is very difficult to notice. Patterned laminate and wood-effect finishes require more detailing, but with the correct colour work and sealing, the result is seamless.

Question 6

Do laminate repairs require removing the flooring or panels?

Accepted Answer

No. All laminate repairs are carried out directly on site without removing flooring boards, kitchen panels or window frames. This is one of the biggest advantages of professional laminate repair compared to replacement. The damaged area is isolated, protected and worked on carefully while the rest of the surface remains untouched. This avoids dismantling kitchens, lifting floors or creating unnecessary disruption inside the property. It also keeps the repair fast, clean and practical for occupied homes and apartments.

Question 7

How long does a laminate repair take?

Accepted Answer

A typical laminate repair takes between two and four hours depending on how detailed the surface pattern is and how large the damage area is. Laminate that imitates wood or veneer requires more time because after filling and sanding, the colour recreation and hand detailing process takes patience. If multiple small damages are present around the property, they can usually be completed during the same visit without needing a return appointment.

Question 8

Is there dust or mess during the process?

Accepted Answer

Sanding the filler does create dust, but only in the immediate working area. We use protective sheets and a vacuum extraction system connected directly to the sanding tools to keep the environment controlled. The goal is to contain the dust locally rather than letting it spread into the room. Once the repair is completed, the area is cleaned thoroughly before leaving.

Question 9

Can burn marks on laminate worktops be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Burn marks caused by hot pans or heated objects are very common on laminate worktops. The damaged section is rebuilt using laminate filler, sanded flat and then carefully colour matched to blend into the surrounding pattern. Because many laminate worktops have stone or wood-effect finishes, detailed hand painting is often required after colour matching to recreate the original look before sealing.

Question 10

Is laminate repair cheaper than replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Replacing laminate flooring or a worktop usually involves removing large sections of material for what is often a small area of damage. Repair focuses only on the affected spot, avoiding the cost of new materials and labour for removal and refitting. This makes laminate repair a far more economical and practical solution while still achieving a seamless visual result.
