Light scratches and deeper gouges
A fine mark in the finish needs a different approach from a scratch that cuts into the timber. We assess the depth, damaged area and existing coating before recommending a localised repair. Suitable deeper marks can be filled, colour matched and detailed to follow the surrounding grain.
Furniture movement and everyday use can leave isolated marks in otherwise sound flooring. Send a close-up and a wider view so we can assess how the repair may blend with the rest of the floor.
Solid timber and engineered flooring
The floor construction and surface finish affect the options. Engineered flooring has a timber wear layer whose thickness may limit sanding. We assess the existing surface rather than assuming every floor can be treated in the same way.
If your floor is laminate or you are unsure of the material, include product details or photos. Laminate requires a different approach from real timber.
Colour and grain matching
For suitable damage, we prepare the area, fill where needed and work on colour, grain detail and finish. Our aim is to reduce how noticeable the damage is while retaining the character of the surrounding floor.
Lighting, wear and sheen can affect the result. A repair may still be visible from some angles; we discuss likely limitations during assessment.

Send a close-up, a room-level photo, the approximate length of each scratch and your Melbourne suburb. Tell us how many areas are damaged and whether any repairs have already been attempted.
The size, depth, number of marks, finish and access affect the quote. Some jobs need an on-site inspection before a firm price can be provided.
Timber floor scratch repair questions
Can scratches be repaired without sanding the whole floor?
Some isolated scratches and gouges are suitable for localised repair. Widespread wear or damage across a large area may need a broader refinishing approach. Photos help us assess which option is appropriate.
Will the repaired area be invisible?
We aim to blend colour, grain and sheen, but cannot guarantee an invisible result. The existing finish, grain pattern and lighting affect how a repair looks.
Can you repair engineered timber floor scratches?
We assess engineered timber floors for localised repairs. The condition and thickness of the timber wear layer matter, especially if sanding has been carried out previously.
When can I walk on the repaired area?
We provide curing and care instructions for the materials used on your floor. The waiting time depends on the repair and conditions.
