Scratched and damaged lacquered engineered wood flooring
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.16 PM
Hi all Could anyone please advise me on how to repair deep scratches to engineered wood flooring? I currently have 3-strip lacquered oak flooring which was recently put down and then consequently ruined by the tradesman, where most of the lacquer has now been destroyed and there are a few deep gauges in the wood. Any advice or help would be much appreciated and thank you in advance! Kind regards Sarah

Hello Sarah
Sorry to hear about this, the answer to your question depends on how deep the scratch is1) you may be able to do a localized repair if the scratch is not too deep by just lacquering 2) if it is very deep it may need some sanding then go on to apply lacquer to the areas affected but a warning is that it will never look exactly the same because your floor was factory finished which means that the lacquer used and the finishing process and application is different and very hard to duplicate perfectly in a house the same applies to option 1. 3) sand the whole area would give a consistent and harmonious look to the area but it depends on how large the area is i guess if it is one medium sized room it should only take just over a day to complete
Hope this was of some assistance

Hi Sarah,
Sorry to hear about the damages on your floor.
From what you've said above, it seems likely there are quite a lot of damages. As 'Sanding floor London' has rightly said, options 1&2 above could work. However, we would advise a total sanding of the entire floor and re-vanishing to ensure symmetry.
From a professional point of view, It is always difficult to tell the right level of treatment required if one hasn't seen the floor. So my advise would be to get someone over to inspect the site. This way you would be getting tailored recommendation to your particular situation.
I hope you find this useful.
