Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in Cobourg

It happens to the best of us. A chair gets dragged, the dog gets excited, or a toy gets dropped, and suddenly there's an ugly scratch on your beautiful hardwood floor. Before you think about covering it with a rug or spending a fortune on a full refinishing job, give us a call. We're your local Cobourg neighbours who specialize in making those frustrating scratches disappear. It's amazing what a professional spot repair can do to bring back the warmth and character of your indoor wood floors.

How We Fix Your Scratches

It’s not magic, but it’s close! Our process is straightforward and focuses on a flawless, lasting repair. First, we carefully assess the scratch to determine its depth and the type of wood and finish you have. We then thoroughly clean the area to remove any dirt or oils that could interfere with the repair. For deeper gouges, we use a specialized, colour-matched wood filler that hardens to become a permanent part of your floor. For surface-level scratches, we often use delicate blending techniques with stains and finishes.

The final and most important step is seamlessly blending the repair. We meticulously match the colour and sheen of your existing finish, feathering it into the surrounding area so the original damage becomes practically invisible. Our goal is to make it look like the scratch was never there in the first place.

Is a Spot Repair Right for You?

Spot repairs are perfect for isolated damage like one or two deep scratches or a small cluster of lighter scuffs. If you're generally happy with your floors but are bothered by a few specific blemishes, this is the most cost-effective solution. It saves you the time, expense, and disruption of sanding down and refinishing an entire room. However, if your floor has widespread damage, deep discolouration from sun or water, or the finish is worn out everywhere, a full refinishing might be the better long-term option. We'll always give you an honest opinion on what's best for your home and your budget.
