Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) has become one of the most popular floor coverings in UK homes and commercial spaces. Durable, water-resistant and available in realistic wood and stone effects, it performs well — but it can still suffer chips, tears, scratches and lifting edges over time. Professional LVT repair can address most forms of damage without the need for full floor replacement.
Common Types of LVT Floor Damage
- Surface chips and gouges — from dropped heavy objects or furniture legs
- Scratches and scuff marks — particularly in high-traffic areas or from pet claws
- Lifting edges and bubbling — where the adhesive bond has failed or moisture has got beneath the tile
- Tears — from sharp objects or excessive force
- Discolouration or bleaching — from chemical exposure or prolonged UV exposure
What Can Be Repaired vs Replaced
For isolated chips, gouges and scratches, professional repair using colour-matched flexible fillers and surface sealers can produce very good results. Lifting edges can often be re-adhered. However, where LVT tiles have extensive cracking, large tears across multiple tiles, or where the underlying subfloor has deteriorated, partial or full replacement may be more appropriate. Our technicians will assess and advise honestly.
LVT Repair for Landlords and Commercial Premises
LVT is widely used in rental properties and commercial spaces precisely because it’s robust. When a chip or tear does occur, professional repair is typically far more economical than re-flooring — and can extend the life of the floor covering by many years. We work with landlords, property managers and facilities teams across the UK.
