High-pressure decorative laminates are a popular and sturdy aesthetic used worldwide for remodeling both commercial and home areas. These laminates are sustainable and durable if looked after well. However, now and then scratches, dents, or chipping can be seen because of excessive impact or terrible renovation.

These issues, if now not constant nicely, can wreck the overall aesthetics of the gap and you may come to be with high-value renovation. But, don't worry. We have introduced you to a complete manual regarding the common damages and their DIY fixes. Read the blog to discover effective answers for fixing chips in laminates and other damages.

6 Ways To Fix Scratches and Chips of High-Pressure Decorative Laminates

1. Wax For Deep Scratches

Deep scratches are usually the most common and frustrating damages that homeowners generally face with high-pressure decorative laminate sheets. However, these scratches are not that much though to fix. This can be effectively fixed using furniture wax or wax-filled sticks.

By following the below method, you can restore laminate surfaces and fix the ugly scratches:

  • Start by removing dust and dirt from the surface of the laminate and clean the scratches properly.
  • Then select a wax stick that complements the colour of laminate. If an exact match is not available, try blending shades to achieve desired results.
  • In the next step, fill the scratches with wax and gently remove the excess wax by scraping.

2. Painting Laminate Sheets

Discoloration of high-pressure laminates is very rare, especially in high-quality laminates. However, excessive exposure to sunlight, friction, or impact can result in partial discoloration. It can ruin the aesthetics of space and need an instant fix. Following the below steps you can easily fix it:

  • Sanding is the very first step to ensure that the paint adheres to the surface easily and firmly. Gently apply sandpaper on the damaged area and create a rough surface.
  • In the next step, apply the bonding primer that acts like a glue between the surface and the paint. Make sure to read the manufacturer's manual before selecting the primer.
  • Once the primer has dried, spread even coats of paint on the damaged area of laminated. Use a leveler to ensure an even application. Ensure you are using laminate-compatible paint for the whole process.

3. Use Of A Touch-up Pen or Marker

This is a widely used method in both residential and commercial spaces for scratch repair for laminates. Touch-up pens and markers can effectively disguise scratches without any hustle. Here are the steps you should remember before applying a touch-up pen or marker:

  • Clear the surface using a soft cloth and remove the dirt from the scratches.
  • Choose the most appropriate shade and shake the well to mix the colors. It helps in maintaining consistency and flow during application.
  • Apply the marker carefully along the scratch and wipe the excessive color using a cloth immediately.

4. Wood Filler Or Putty

Putty is a durable solution that is effective for dents, gouges, or cracks on high pressure laminates. It helps in restoring the structural integrity of laminates and improves aesthetics. Moreover, it is one of the most cost-effective solutions, especially for fixing dents. Following the below steps will help you understand the process better:

  • Clean the area properly and apply a marker to create the outlines of the application area.
  • Apply the filler to the dent by using a putty knife and ensure it fills the damaged area properly.
  • Use sandpaper and make the surface smooth for a fine finish.
  • To create a well-balanced appearance, paint the side proximity with complimentary colors and smoothen it with sandpaper.

5. Using Laminate Repair Paste

Laminate repair paste is specifically made to fix damage to laminate surfaces, and it works best on chips and minor cracks. This paste comes in a variety of colors to support a range of laminate finishes. The below steps will help you in understanding the process better:

  • First, choose a repair paste that closely matches your laminate.
  • Using a spatula, apply the paste to the damaged area, being careful to distribute it evenly and fill the chip or crack all the way.
  • As directed by the manufacturer, smooth the surface while the paste is still wet and then let it cure.
  • The laminate's original appearance is restored when the paste has cured and blended in perfectly.

6. Iron-on Veneer Patches

Iron-on veneer patches are a realistic solution for repairing big chips or regions in which the laminate is missing. Begin by slicing a patch from an identical laminate sheet that is barely larger than the broken vicinity. Here are a few steps that you have to follow:

  • Use a heated iron to activate the adhesive on the return of the patch and press it firmly onto the floor.
  • Trim the rims carefully to make sure a super-suit with the encompassing laminate.
  • Once the patch is secure, you can sand or polish the rims for a seamless finish.
  • This technique is particularly beneficial for repairing great damage, and the result is a long-lasting and visually attractive floor.
