As you look for quotes for flooring repair, consider how the severity of the problem and the accessibility of the damage will impact your costs and budget.

Refinishing a few hardwood planks with minor scratches will cost thousands of dollars less than completely replacing an entire water-damaged floor. Likewise, a first-floor structural problem in a house with an unfinished basement is easy to access from below, while a similar issue on a second-story floor will require your flooring pro to remove several layers to get to the damage.

Tears, bubbles, scratches, and lifting edges are common issues that require professional repair.

Even with proper floor protection, small scratches sometimes happen. If it’s just a minor scuff, you can often buff it out with a sponge and a bit of floor polish. For slightly worse scratches, there are a variety of scratch removal products that may help, including finish restorer and blending pencils.

In general, vinyl flooring resists scratches, dents, and tears, but this can vary from one type of vinyl (and manufacturer) to another. Vinyl flooring has a wear layer that ranges in thickness from 6 to 20 millimeters. This layer offers protection against standard scratches, but vinyl with a thicker wear layer will resist scratches better than those with a thin layer.
