LAMINATE REPAIR DIY - How to perfectly fix a damaged laminate in 5 minutes

How to quickly and reliably restore damage to the laminate without dismantling and complex work? Laminate flooring is very popular all over the world. It is installed in both houses and apartments. During installation or operation, chips, dents, bumps, scratches and other visible defects often occur on the laminate surface. Such damage can be easily repaired with the help of local surface restoration technology. Everyone can do it. In this video, I will show the process of restoring a large chip on the surface of a new laminate. During the repair work, the workers caused this damage. A heavy sharp object fell. In order not to dismantle the entire laminate, they decided to restore this damage. For work, I use professional restoration materials and KONIG (Germany) tools. But you can also use analogues.

Work process:
Before starting work, I clean and degrease the damaged area.
To fill the depth of damage, I use restorative hard waxes for local restoration of floors and surfaces subjected to operational loads. The wax is filled using a soldering iron with a convenient nozzle. You can use a gas or electric soldering iron. The working melting temperature of hard waxes is 80-90 C. For restoration, we select the necessary shades of waxes. To obtain the necessary shades, different colors of wax can be mixed with each other using a soldering iron. The filler(wax) is applied to the damage with a small excess. After 1-2 minutes, it cools down and hardens. After that, carefully cut off the excess with a special plastic spatula with teeth. I restore the lost structure of the surface with waxes of the appropriate shades. For an ideal repair, I paint the detailed texture of the laminate with restoration acrylic paints with a thin brush. At the end, the restored place must be covered with a transparent restoration varnish of the necessary gloss. In this case, the varnish is semi-matte. You can use the restored laminate after 2 hours. The restoration is complete!

damn dude! That is not a simple restoration process... it is an entire artistic process! brilliant!

[cineaste]

I am a professional painter with over thirty years of experience and you did a great job repairing and especially color matching on that repair. Kudos to you sir you are a craftsman! 👍🏼

[thefloorstalker]

Excellent work. I put 48 years on the floor installing and I had the last five or six years of my career doing service work and repair with this exact process. Brilliant. Of course, your work rates more than a 10.

Ive seen many vinyl plank flooring repairs using wax, melting vinyl shavings, wood fillers, etc. This repair is absolutely fantastic… best I’ve ever seen hands down. Flooring manufacturers should have you working in their damage claims department lol

When someone is doing a really good Job of something you just love to watch the whole thing from beginning to end with interest all the way. Thanks for showing what you do. 👍

[OmahaAreaLoya]

This was in my feed for some reason, and despite my usual total lack of attention span, watched the whole thing. You have a gift. That repair is amazing.

[AlbertaMartian]

I love knowing this type of repair/restoration can be done as I just had my entire home refinished in luxury plank flooring. I know one of these days damage WILL occur, and seeing that a repair can be done with such an excellent outcome gives me confidence.
Beautiful job. 10/10

[alww]

you really care about your workmanship and deserve the highest respect.

THANK YOU!!!! I bought a kit, followed your directions, and made a perfect fix for my gouged floor. Your explanation totally made it easy. I thought it would be a long process, but your video is only 6 minutes long, and it didn't take me much longer than that on my first try! Wonderful. Thank you again.

[Radioman]

I give you an 11. I did those repairs in my floor business just like this, but not as good. Retired now, thank God!

[ianm]

Wow this person is a miracle worker. Absolutely brilliant 💯

[mrintresting]

Ive done that on the rounded edge of a laminate marble kitchen top….two large chunks were missing so I used chemical metal to fill the holes….sanded it smooth and replicated the marble with acrylics….used gloss varnish to finish it off. You couldn’t tell where the chunks had been. We’ve changed the units now or I’d send a pic….i was so proud I challenged people to spot the repairs!

[idliketosay]

Bob Ross would be extremely proud and impressed. Wow.
