Wooden Floors, Lasting Beauty: Easy Fixes for Scratches and Damage

Wooden flooring adds warmth and elegance to any home — but with time and use, it can be prone to minor scratches, scuffs, and dents. The good news? You don’t need to replace the entire floor. With the right techniques and a little care, you can restore your floors to their former glory. Whether it’s a surface scratch or deeper damage, here’s a step-by-step guide to fixing your wooden floors — shared by the experts at SRK Fashion Floors.

1. Identify the Type of Damage

Before you begin, assess the level of damage:

• Light scratches affect only the surface finish.

• Deeper scratches may penetrate the wood layer.

• Dents or gouges may require filling or plank replacement.

2. Fixing Light Surface Scratches

For minor scratches, use a wood repair marker or crayon that matches your floor color. Gently fill the scratch and buff with a soft cloth.

✅ Pro Tip: Rubbing a walnut over light scratches can also mask them naturally thanks to its natural oils.

3. Buffing and Recoating for Mild Wear

If your floor has several small scratches and appears dull, a light buff and recoat can refresh the finish without sanding. Use a buffer to even out the surface and apply a polyurethane finish for a fresh layer of protection.

4. Dealing with Deeper Scratches and Dents

For deeper damage:

• Sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper.

• Apply wood filler in a matching shade.

• Let it dry, sand it smooth, and finish with a stain or sealant to match the surrounding area.

5. Plank Replacement for Major Damage

If the damage is extensive or the board is cracked, replacing the individual plank may be the best solution. This involves:

• Removing the damaged plank

• Fitting a new one in place

• Sanding and finishing it to blend with the existing floor

Preventive Tips to Keep Your Floor Scratch-Free:

• Use rugs in high-traffic areas

• Add furniture pads under legs

• Sweep and mop regularly to avoid debris buildup

• Avoid high heels and pet claws on unprotected surfaces
