20 Best Scratch Repair For Vinyl Flooring (2023 Updated)

Love this product so far! My husband put down a coat of the Floor Restorer about 2 months ago ( only after using the Rejuvenate Daily Floor Cleaner). It has held up well on our new floors. We have a 1 year old black lab puppy, two cats and a whirlwind of a toddler all over these floors, all the time.

I just cleaned the floor with the Rejuvenate Daily Cleaner and put another coat of the Rejuvenate All Floor Restorer over where my husband did a spot two months ago, you can barely tell where he did his spot before, it looks so shiny and uniform, and we aren’t slipping on it constantly.

It’s kept our new floor nice and scratch free. In our kitchen, it’s been down for two months also, I couldn’t get a good picture, but it wears down to what the floor looked like before we applied the Restorer to it.

I highly recommend this product, just follow directions carefully and use the Rejuvenate Daily Cleaner on it beforehand. On a side note, to do a quick clean I use the Great Value Wet Mopping Cloths on it a few times a week, and it doesn’t seem to affect how quickly the finish wears at all.

The only thing that seems to affect the wear of the All Floor Restorer is how often foot traffic goes over certain areas. The pictures below are in the living room, I have to do it in sections so I took a picture of where I stopped with the All Floor Restorer, so you can see the difference between the floor before and after.

Also, my cats decided they were going to walk over where I applied the Floor Restorer about 10 minutes after I was done, and they didn’t leave footprints. My cats are 11ish pounds a piece, if that makes a difference.

I purchased this because the brand and bottle shape suggested I could put it straight into the “Rejuvenate Floor Restorer Click n Clean” mop – but unfortunately, it does NOT fit. You have to open the cap, splash a big puddle on the floor, put the bottle down, quickly mop it up and then tray and get back to where you put the bottle without stepping on the newly polished floor.

Despite the hype, it’s not very convenient, not compatible and a completely wasted opportunity. Cleaning products should not be h hugely time-consuming hassle, but this product is, so, in a busy household, I haven’t had the time to apply it properly.

I regret the purchase.

This makes vinyl items like swim pool Floaters, vinyl cushions and best of all automotive seats and dashboards.

Had a knife cut into my bolster. It cut a 2-3 inch slice in the vinyl. Used this to try to repair it. Turned out better than expected and was simple to use.

Great for hardwood, but utter CRAP for tile. Followed directions, polish clumped on tile causing 3D parts of floor. Used tile disposable cleaning pads “streak-free formula” also crap. Leaves hazy streaks.

Total waste of time and money. Currently trying to remove this devil polish off my tile.

We have bought an older farm that we have restored the home several years ago. We put porcelain Tile throughout 90% of upstairs and 100% downstairs. The upstairs is about 1000 square foot of tile. After several years of using the bona cleaning products we saw the polishing product and we we thought the floors would look better with a little more Shine so we tried this product.

It looked great for a while and then after several applications just looked blotchy and dull. We then proceeded to search internet on how to remove. Now we have floors that look terrible , horrible haze and dullness in every crevice ! We have tried scrubbing and every trick on the internet we could find,; ex vinegar, ammonia and nothing works! The more we try the worse it looks!.

I was a fan of Bona cleaners and decided to give the low gloss polish a try. Big mistake! We now have a haze all over our year-old wood floors that we have to figure out how to remove. Wish I would have read more reviews before buying.

Many others have highlighted the same issue.

I used this product on my kitchen (laminate) and bathroom (tile) floors for the first time, two coatings. The shine was good at first, but walking left permanent dull paths on the floors in just a few days.

A week after the application I mopped the floors with warm water, and the floor finish started to peel off immediately, leaving a streaked mess behind. It took many hours to remove it and the kitchen floor is now damaged.

This purchase was a total waste of money and my time. I will never buy anything of that product line again.

My mother really liked this product. Always left a clean feeling, smooth and beautiful shine on tile floors. We did not use it on her wood floors. We give it only three stars as it clumps and clogs multiple spray mops.

When we strained it there were clumps in the bottom of the bottle, I can only imagine it is the baking soda in the product not dissolved correctly?? Will try to contact the company to make them aware of the problem.

Was trying to bond a couple of loose pieces inside the door of my vehicle. Cleaned and degreased the parts and applied the Goop; and applied the Goop; and applied the Goop. Has the consistency of thick oil.

Just kept running and running out of the area that I wanted it to stay in. The space is 1/16 inch or less. Have today added 2 more amounts and am waiting to see if it will bond to itself. Looks like it might.

Should have purchased some caulking like material which is what I thought this was.

This product adheres very well. I used it to rejoin the outer edge of the driver’s seat (side and bottom leather cushion). This is a stress area. I did not need to heat the Goop or have anything else with it.

As is usual, there is a lot left over after the car application so I used some on a pair of slippers with the sole and upper detached. And the on a pair of runners – same problem. The Goop has held even though I have used the runners in the sea.

Surprised that it’s actually waterproof. The tub does not dry out like other brands once the cap is screwed back on. Really easy to use. Once harden, it really sticks! Very nice. The one downside is that the opening sometime is hard to stick into a smaller spaces.

This is a great, inexpensive way to repair upholstery. I wanted to sell my daughter’s car but it had two holes in the front seat about the size of a quarter. I tried stitching them but that didn’t work so I bought this kit.

On my first try I got the color a bit too light but the second time it was really close and looked good. It dries hard so seems like it is durable. Sold the car in 2 days! I think NOT having two big holes helped.

The tear in back of seat cousin is 3″ long. Could not use this kit, looks like a good kit. (Note: if I could read Spanish I would have not purchased this kit. ) In Spanish it’s contents are in part. (1) screen applicator 2″ X 3″ [actually 2″ X 2″] and (1) fabric sample 2″ X 3″ [actual 3″ X 3″].

My tear and fabric sample are the same size, no excess to overlap the tear!.

This product worked as expected. It was not easy to use you have too keep at it too make the exact color match but it is not easy for me anyway. It did work as expected.

These markers are often used to hide furniture scratches. They do not really repair the scratch, but fill it in with coloring that makes it far less noticeable. Use these for “true” scratches – ones that have penetrated the finish and gone into the wood.

Such a scratch will show up due to the wood being exposed. These are not for what I would call “indentation” scratches – such scratches do not go into the wood; but instead are like long shallow grooves in only the finish.

Since it is only the finish being affected, adding color will do no good. But for the true scratches, these will do a good job in disguising them. The instructions say to just dab the marker on the scratch – DON”T.

If you do that, the color will strongly penetrate the wood and likely show up much darker, making the scratch more noticeable. Try this instead: After testing to see that you have a close color match, dab the marker tip onto a soft, clean cloth.

Then take the cloth with the color on it and very lightly buff over the scratch area. This will allow you to put down color at a more controlled rate, and prevent the color from over-saturating the wood.

It is a much more subtle and effective way to blend the color in with the scratch.

we bought a lot of old, well used furniture for our 2nd home. Some of it is antique aged. Lot’s of character in these pieces but some scratches we would like to smooth out. These worked great. practice on a part of the furniture that is not seen.

Use a clean, old cloth & try blending the different colors so it blends in. On all the pieces I used it on, all different shades of wood and different types pf repair needed. These blend so easily and look so well blended that most people don’t know where the piece has been repaired.

They work fine now that my son soaked the tips in something (rubbing alcohol?) The markers were so dry when they arrived they wouldn’t leave a mark on anything! However, they cover the scratches and match well with the furniture I have.

I doubt even the lightest one would work on very light wood such as the 50’s “blonde” furniture. They’re more for medium and darker pieces. The lightest one works well on Fruitwood stained items.

This product comes out easily, which is great if you have arthritic hands. The color was what I expected and matches my old self-stick floor tiles perfectly. I’ve just begun to use this where gaps have developed between the tiles over the years.

So far, it looks great. I can’t judge how long it will last after mopping and foot traffic, but I’m very happy with it at this point.

I’m really happy with this product, especially the color match to my floor. It has a few small round gouges that appeared very dark and would allow dirt to collect. The largest was a little under 6/16″ in diameter, maybe 2/16″ deep.

I’ve been able to build up layers of this product, allowing drying time between, to bring the gouges up to the level of the floor. The color match is near perfect, making it near impossible to see where the gouges were.

Was looking for a caulk/putty to use on Trex PVC flooring boards I got from Home Depot / Lowes. This Dark Brown color matched the brown flooring product as expected.

Excellent product. Used on floating flooring and has covered all of the small scratches. Even made some large gouges less noticable. Only downside is the lack of instructions as to how to use it as it is this weird stick looking thing.

You unwrap the foil and then rub the stick end onto the scratch. Takes a minute to get the oil to come out just keep rubbing. Don’t unwrap the stick itsself! would give a 9 out of 10.

I have found very few areas that it has made any improvement on. It advertised that it works on watermarks but it didn’t make any improvement on the watermarks on our dining room table. I have tried it on several different areas in our house.

Most areas I see no improvement. It did make a great improvement on one of the cupboards in our bathroom that had some water damage but that is the only area I saw any improvement.

If you have chipped floor tile, this product is almost a miracle! I highly recommend it! When a dropped tool chipped a big (1″ +) gouge in the center of the living room floor tile, I nearly had a heart attack! Ripping out all the tile wasn’t a viable option, there was no way to match the tile so we could just replace one, and a rug would only make keeping the floor clean that much harder.

What to do? A quick Google search led me to two different tile repair products. After reading up on each, I figured it was worth a try. At nearly $100 each for the kits from their normal distributors, I was hesitant to buy what might have not worked.

Instead I searched eBay for a less expensive way to buy and found both types there. I chose this one hoping it would work. The product is amazing! It takes a bit of practice to get the color just right but fortunately there’s plenty of material so you can afford to make mistakes and still have enough to do the job.

It also takes a bit of practice to properly fill the gouge. I found doing it in multiple layers worked best but that was for the big gouge. While I was at it, I also patched lots of other tiny spots I hadn’t noticed until I was sitting on the floor:-) When fully dry and cured, the patch is literally invisible! My husband couldn’t findit! Now that’s what I call fabulous!!!.

Works. Give it 2 days to cure because it will shrink. You will find that multiple layers work better. You don’t need to use color on bottom layer. If really deep might try to bottom fill with Bondo etc.

Bought to repair a marble table. Took a lot of layers to fill. Water based. Shrunk. Not durable. Not suitable for project I was working on. Sorry.

I originally purchased a 2oz bottle to try on my Cd’s. Well it worked so well that I thought to try it on my headlights. Well to my amazement it works on all plastics. I was so pleased that I recently had to replace my 2oz bottle with an 8oz bottle.

Can’t beat the price either. Congrats on a great product that is now in my cleaning bag of tricks. TY.

Even following the instructions exactly this product has failed to remove even the lightest scratch I have tried it on. It does clean a computer screen nicely but appears to have 0% effectiveness as a scratch remover.

As for the “special cloth” that was supplied with it, it seems to be nothing more than some type of paper towel. Any star rating I was minded to award has disappeared into a black hole.

My bike, looks brilliant now. The medium and fine polish, were both required, to achieve outstanding results. The cloths supplied, were in my mind, absolutely necessary for the final buff-up. I did think these were a little expensive, though.

Can’t thank you enough.

Wanted something easy to fill in nail holes and other areas before painting garage and thought I’d have to use a product that required a lot of sanding. This spackling is for indoor or outdoor use, and sands as easily as indoor spackling; only very light sanding was necessary.

Worked great and save me time.

This must of been pretty old. Had to mix water with it to get it to the right consistent. Was pretty dry!

I used this about a month ago to ‘seal’ the corners of a 304SS reservoir holding water where the seam/weld had separated a bit. I had first tried JB weld (the metal one), and it didn’t quite do the trick.

This stuff painted right over that, and the sealed the corners. One thick coat probably would have been good… but I came back 2 days later and did a second coat… then waited about 4 days to fill the reservoir.

1 month in and no issues. I think it worked. Hope this helps because basically couldn’t find anything on U Toob or internet where somebody did this same thing to coat the inside (only the seams) of a reservoir to make it water tight.

It’s about 10ft x 2 x 1 ft deep.

I have had a leaking roof near the seam between the roof and porch, and no matter what I’ve put on, it continues to leak. We actually need a new roof, but we can’t do that expense right now. I decided to try the Flex Seal on the portion that I thought was leaking.

I easily applied this with a brush and roller, but it is a thicker consistency than paint, so be aware of that difference. It seemed to dry pretty quickly, because when I checked on it a few hours later it was pretty firm.

It is like rubber so it really forms to the surface that you paint it on. I had a little left, so I also coated an old hammer handle and it seems to be adhered to it pretty good. We did get a small shower and it held up, but waiting until we get a heavy rain to see if indeed it holds at least for a year or so until we can afford a roof.

So far, I am impressed, and if it does hold up well, I am thinking about using it to paint my basement to make it moisture proof and then I can turn it into a game room at some point and not worry about mildew or mold smells.

When I went to buy brushes and a roller for this, the salesman at a large home improvement store had said that he used the product for everything and he highly recommended it. I can see lots of uses for this product, since it is flexible and easy to apply.

I’m usually wary of those “as seen on tv’ products, but I think this could be a winner. Pros: applies easily, flexible, not strong smelling, Cons: have to use mineral spirits to clean up, can dry quickly if you let the can open while working with it.
