Have found a mark in the cork tile flooring in a traffic area of the living room. At first I thought it was a black scuff, but when looking close up - as you can see there is damages in the surface as if something sharp and heavy has been dragged along the floor?
Is there any way I can patch repair this without having to replace the tiles (goes across 2.3 tiles)? I have included close up images and distant images.
Hello @CMCA
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about repairing your cork flooring.
I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Repairing cork flooring by @nick626. It was recommended in the discussion to lightly sand the damaged area where the grime has built up. You don't want to sand too hard, or you will end up creating a valley in your floor. Once it is nice and clean use your vacuum cleaner to remove all the dust and debris.
It was also suggested to use a combination of Timbermate wood fillers in different colours to mimic a cork effect, filling the holes. Waxstix can also be used to stipple the filler adding to the effect. Once you are happy with the result, sand the area flush with the surrounding tiles and apply a polyurethane floor coating.
It might take a while, but you should be able to reduce the darkness of the damage.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
