Invisible Timber Floor Scratch Repair in Sydney
Don't Replace - Restore Your Solid or Engineered Wood Floors Locally
Why Replacing Your Timber Floor Boards Isn't Always Necessary
Scratches, dents, and gouges on timber floors can instantly age an otherwise beautiful home. In the Sydney property market, floor condition is a major factor in rental bond refunds and home valuations. At Refinish, we specialise in localised timber floor repair in Sydney, offering a surgical approach to restoration that targets only the damaged area.
Engineered vs. Solid Timber: We Fix Both
Many modern Sydney apartments use floating engineered floors. Unlike solid wood, these often have a very thin veneer layer that cannot withstand multiple full-room sandings. Our micro-repair technology is the perfect solution for engineered boards, as we fix the scratch without wearing down the remaining wood. For solid timber floors (like Australian Blackbutt or Spotted Gum), we precisely match the natural grain and heartwood colors to ensure an invisible blend.
Common Timber Floor Damage We Restore
Sydney's climate and active lifestyles can be tough on wood floors. We provide on-site solutions for:
- Deep Furniture Scratches: Usually caused by dragging sofas or chairs without felt pads.
- Impact Dents: From dropped heavy kitchenware or high-heeled shoes.
- Pet Claw Damage: Persistent scratches from dogs and cats that dull the finish.
- Engineered Floor Chipping: Occurring at the vulnerable edges of the planks.
- Installation Gaps & Dents: Minor mishaps during construction or renovation.
Our Precision Repair Process
Our 5-step restoration ensures your floor remains structurally sound and visually perfect:
- Debris Removal: We clean and stabilize the wood fibers to prevent further splintering.
- On-Site Tint Mixing: No pre-made fillers. We mix pigments live to match your floor's unique age and shade.
- High-Density Filling: We use industrial-grade resins that expand and contract with the wood.
- Grain Re-Creation: Using fine brushes, we hand-paint the wood grain through the repaired area.
- Sheen Balancing: We apply a protective coat to match your floor's specific gloss level (Matte, Satin, or Gloss).

Common Questions About Wood Floor Restoration
Can deep scratches in timber floors be repaired?
Absolutely. Most deep scratches and even gouges from dropped objects can be restored using our micro-repair method. By filling and hand-painting the grain, the damage becomes invisible without needing to sand the entire floor.
Will the repair match my floor's gloss level?
Yes. Matching the sheen (Matte, Satin, Semi-Gloss, or High Gloss) is a crucial part of our process. We ensure the repaired area reflects light exactly like the rest of your timber floor.
Is the repair permanent?
Yes. We use industrial-grade resins and top-coats designed for high-traffic areas. Once cured, the repair is as durable as the original factory finish and can be cleaned using standard floor maintenance methods.
