Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in Georgina

Scratches happen. A dropped tool, a chair being dragged, or pet claws can ruin the look of your hardwood floors. While store-bought kits seem like a quick fix, they often create a bigger, more obvious problem. We skip the gimmicks and use proven techniques to properly repair the damage to your indoor floors. We assess the depth of the scratch and use the right materials to get a lasting, blended result. Don't waste money on a temporary patch; get it fixed correctly the first time.

Our Approach to Scratch Repair

Fixing a scratch isn't just about filling a gap. It's about matching the material, color, and finish to make the repair invisible. First, we determine if it's a surface-level scuff in the polyurethane or a deep gouge into the wood itself. Surface scratches can often be buffed and recoated, blending them into the existing top layer. This is a fast and effective solution for minor wear and tear.

Deeper gouges require more work. These can't just be coated over. We carefully fill the damaged area with professional-grade wood fillers that are matched to your floor's colour. After the filler cures, we sand it perfectly smooth, then meticulously apply stain and a durable top coat to match the sheen of the surrounding area. This process ensures the repair is strong and visually seamless.

Why a Professional Repair is Better

Those wax sticks and marker pens from the hardware store are temporary fixes at best. They don't have the durability to withstand cleaning or foot traffic and often leave a shiny or dull spot that draws more attention to the damage. A poorly matched color can look worse than the original scratch. We use the same types of durable finishes that were originally applied to your floor. This means our repairs last and won't wash away or wear off in a few weeks. We have the tools and experience to properly prepare the wood and blend the finish, which is something a DIY kit simply can't replicate. Investing in a professional repair saves you the frustration of a failed attempt and protects the value of your hardwood floors. Call us at (647) 898-7839 to discuss your project.
