Fixing a small dent in laminate flooring

[adcworks]

Hi,

So I have a small problem in that I dropped the iron the other day onto the laminate flooring .. IKEA type light wood stuff and the nose of the iron put a 1cm dent into it. The impact site has the laminate surface depressed and I cannot (don't want to) raise it out for fear of making this worse.

I was wondering what to do here. Someone said tree sap or similar (transparent glue) can reconstitute a surface at least to protect the dent.

Any other ideas would be welcome!

all depends on wether you have beech coloured laminate and wether its a dent with a firm base or a dent thats broken the back

if its click type can you not replace the plank!!!

Nothing to add this time, you said it all

Perhaps only: dents, little scratches add character to the floor, never expect your floor to stay 'new' (well, the only way to do that is not to walk on it

It's like a new car: first scratch is "Ouch".

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the fast replies. Will check this product out

Definately agree on the "adding character" point for real wood floors but not for this super-smooth faux wood laminate stuff from IKEA

Not only that, but I rent this house, so I don't want my deposit docked!

Anyways, take it easy, thanks again

Gcol, althought the word laminated is used in the title of the topic I do think it's a Wood-Engineered or Wood-Veneer floor. Your suggestion is for indeed the Melamine (plastic) Laminated floor and I'm not sure it would work here.

Sounds like laminate to me Woody.

Versus first quote:

IKEA type light wood stuff

Is it a wonder we all get confused??? And it is so simple

lol, well i guess it's veneered then .. it has a 2mm or so top layer of faux platic feeling wood with something like chipboard underneath.

Glad my 'Dutch' instincts were right

I vaguely remember my floor when I first laid it, it's now covered in "character"
