Scratch Removal, done the right way.
Scratch removal is spot refinishing — abrading a scratched area back below the depth of the scratch and re-building the finish to match the surrounding floor. On stone that is a localised grit sequence; on wood it is careful sanding and re-coating of the affected boards or zone. Done well, the repair disappears.
These treatments are diagnostic first — the right fix for a slippery floor, a scratch or a stain depends entirely on the material and the cause, so every job starts with identifying what you actually have and what went wrong.
On floor treatment: As a standalone floor-treatment job this covers scratch repair on any hard floor — marble, granite, Kota, terrazzo or wood — with the method matched to the material after an on-site look.
The process
How floor treatment scratch removal works.
Step 01
Assess depth
We check whether the scratch is in the finish only or into the material, which decides how much has to come off.
Step 02
Cut back
The area is abraded past the base of the scratch with the appropriate diamonds or sandpaper, feathered into the surrounding surface.
Step 03
Rebuild finish
The area is honed and polished (stone) or re-coated (wood) through to the matching sheen.
Step 04
Blend & seal
Edges are blended so there is no visible border, and the spot is re-sealed.
Why it's worth doing
The result you get.
- ✓Removes unsightly scratches without refinishing the whole room
- ✓Matched sheen so the repair is invisible
- ✓Quick — most spot repairs are a single visit
- ✓Stops a scratch in the finish from letting moisture into the material
When you need it
Is this the right service?
Use spot scratch removal for isolated damage — a dragged furniture leg, pet claws, a dropped knife, grit gouges by a doorway — on a floor that is otherwise in good order.

Water leaves several different marks on a floor and each needs a different fix: hard-water mineral film that sits on top, water rings and cloudiness where moisture has penetrated stone, white bloom trapped under a wood or resin finish, and efflorescence — salts carried up through stone and tile by damp.
Grouting & Regrouting →
Whole-floor grout work across any tiled or stone-tile surface: filling joints that were never grouted properly, raking out and replacing grout that has cracked, crumbled or discoloured, and colour-sealing sound-but-ugly grout to a uniform shade.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered.
Will the repaired spot be noticeable?
When it is done properly, no — the area is feathered out and finished to the same sheen. Very deep gouges may leave a faint shadow but are dramatically improved.
My floor treatment has floors that are hazardous underfoot when wet — bathrooms, lobbies, ramps, poolside — can scratch removal fix that?
Yes — that is exactly what scratch removal addresses on floor treatment. We confirm the cause on the free site visit and quote the fix in writing. Use spot scratch removal for isolated damage — a dragged furniture leg, pet claws, a dropped knife, grit gouges by a doorway — on a floor that is otherwise in good order.
How do I keep my floor treatment looking good afterwards?
The essentials: keep entrance matting in place — most floor damage walks in on shoes; fix leaks and condensation; standing water is behind most slips and stains. We leave you a written care plan for the specific finish.
