Best method for fixing chips in laminate flooring

laminate-floor

I'm looking for recommendations or techniques to repair some chips on our "homeowner" installed laminate. We have several spots where the tapping block did some damage – we were limited on the boxes of product so we just have to live with our woopses. Any help or recommendations are welcome and appreciated.

The boards near the wall should be replaced before you install trim, if possible. No repair will completely hide the damage.

Most manufacturers provide a means of replacing interior boards. Consider that for a professional result.

Otherwise, the boards in the field could be touched up with some enamel paint. You'll have to experiment with a base color and accent/grain colors. A matte varnish (urethane) might help match sheen, which is a big part of the challenge.
