Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring has become one of the most popular floor coverings in UK homes and commercial properties. Durable, waterproof and realistic in appearance, LVT is however not immune to chips, scratches, gouges and scuffs — particularly in high-traffic areas or where heavy objects have been dropped.
Can LVT Flooring Be Repaired?
Yes. Many types of surface damage to LVT and LVP flooring can be repaired on-site without removing and replacing tiles or planks. The approach depends on the type and depth of the damage.
Types of LVT Damage We Repair
- Chips and gouges — from dropped items, furniture legs or installation damage
- Deep scratches — from grit, pet claws or heavy furniture being dragged
- Scuffs and surface marks — often from rubber-soled footwear or furniture feet
- Edge and corner damage — chips to the edges of tiles or planks
- Burn marks — from dropped cigarettes or hot objects
- Discolouration — bleach spots or UV fading in localised areas
How We Repair LVT Flooring
Our technicians use specialist filler compounds and colour-matched finishing techniques to repair damaged LVT in situ. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface pattern and texture so the result is as invisible as possible. For chips and gouges, we fill, level, colour-match and apply a protective coating. For scratches, we may use a combination of filler and surface blending depending on depth.
When Repair Is Not Possible
If individual tiles or planks are lifting, bubbling, or the damage goes through the entire tile body, replacement of the affected section may be necessary. We can advise honestly on site and will always tell you if replacement is a better outcome than repair.
LVT Repair vs Floor Replacement
Replacing LVT flooring — even one or two tiles — can be expensive, disruptive and difficult to match if the product has been discontinued. On-site repair typically costs a fraction of tile replacement and is completed in hours rather than days. For landlords, facilities managers and homeowners who want a quick, cost-effective fix, repair is almost always the right first option to explore.
