I have the following problem.
I noticed damage on my new laminate floor (including impact sound insulation, click system).
It probably happened while moving furniture into the apartment.
In a very visible spot, which will not be covered later by a runner or similar,
I found a hole/crater about 4 mm (0.16 inches) in size. The laminate is practically pierced through here.
Something seems to have fallen onto the laminate or it was stepped on with force...
Of course, this is very frustrating for me.
Can anyone advise me on what options are available?
- Is a repair recommended (using a repair kit with heated wax that is applied)?
- Or is it possible to remove and replace the affected area from the wall to the damage?
(It is about 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide and about 4 meters (13.1 feet) long)
- Or does the entire floor need to be replaced?
What is usually done in such a case?
Thank you

Hello Erika,
If you have enough laminate planks left, you can reinstall them. It is also possible to replace the damaged plank. I would only recommend a repair kit for minor damages. Can you upload a photo?Hello.
No, unfortunately not.
My flooring installer says the entire laminate would need to be replaced.
Repairing would be noticeable, and replacing a single plank is not possible because it is click-locked.
Great...

no, it was not a moving company.
my friends helped me about 2 weeks ago.
it could have been one of them. but if so, of course, it was not done intentionally.

and replacement of the individual board is not possible because it is clicked Wrong, that is possible. If there are still 1–2 floorboards left, it definitely can be done.
