Vinyl Plank Repair in Keswick

A scratch, a gap, or a lifted corner on your vinyl plank flooring can be incredibly distracting. It's the one spot your eye is always drawn to. While some issues seem minor, a proper repair requires more than just a quick fix; it demands precision and a deep understanding of the material. We specialize in meticulous indoor vinyl plank repairs right here in Keswick, focusing on restoring the seamless look of your floor without the cost and hassle of a full replacement. We believe the details make all the difference between a patch and a true restoration.

The Difference is in the Details

Vinyl plank flooring is durable, but it's not indestructible. Daily life in your home can lead to scuffs, deep scratches from moving furniture, or even gaps appearing between planks due to temperature changes. Our repair process isn't about simply covering up damage; it's about methodically correcting the issue for a lasting, nearly invisible result. We only work on indoor flooring, allowing us to focus entirely on creating a perfect finish within your living space.

Our Meticulous Repair Process

For deep gouges or cracks, we don't just fill them. We carefully clean the damaged area, removing any debris. We then use a specialized, colour-matched compound, applying it in thin layers to build it up perfectly level with the surrounding surface. The final step involves replicating the texture and sheen of your specific plank, ensuring the repair blends in from every angle. This isn't a quick patch; it's a careful restoration of a single board.

When a plank is too damaged to be repaired, a full replacement is necessary. Our technique is surgical. We use precise tools to carefully release the damaged plank from the tongue-and-groove system without stressing or breaking the adjacent planks. We then clean the subfloor and expertly click the new, perfectly matched plank into place. This focus on protecting the surrounding floor is critical and separates a professional job from a DIY attempt that can cause more damage.

Addressing Gaps and Lifting Edges

Gaps between planks can ruin the look of your floor. We carefully assess the cause, whether it's a settling issue or an installation error. We then use specialized techniques to gently shift the planks back together, closing the gap and ensuring the locking mechanism is fully engaged. For lifting corners or edges, we use a professional-grade adhesive injected precisely under the plank, then weight it down to create a permanent, flat bond with the subfloor. It's about solving the problem, not just hiding it.
