Karndean is one of the UK’s most popular luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring brands. It is durable, waterproof and realistic in appearance — but it is not indestructible. Chips, scratches and indentations do occur, particularly in high-traffic areas or from furniture movement.

Can Karndean Be Repaired Without Replacing Planks?

In most cases, yes. Localised chip and scratch repair can be carried out on-site using colour-matched compounds without removing or replacing the affected plank or tile. This is significantly faster and cheaper than replacement.

What Karndean Damage Can Be Repaired?

Surface chips — from dropped items or furniture. Filled and colour-matched.
Deep scratches — from furniture, pets or abrasive materials. Filled or polished depending on depth.
Indentations — from heavy furniture or stiletto heels. Partially reversible depending on depth.
Edge lifting — where the edge of a plank has begun to lift, it can sometimes be re-bonded.
