Luxury vinyl is a layered product, and deep scratches that penetrate the wear layer cannot be 'buffed' out without removing the surface finish. Repair kits with fillers can hide the damage visually but rarely restore the original texture. For floating floors, replacing a damaged plank is often possible.

How are deep scratches hidden on LVP?
Deep scratches in luxury vinyl are difficult to repair perfectly. For minor deep scratches, you can use a color-matched vinyl repair kit or a filler putty designed for LVP. In cases of severe damage, the best solution is often to replace the individual damaged planks.
