Floor has lots of scratches.

Does anyone know of any mircale products that can "fill" the scratches?

No miracle product that I am aware of.

Just hard work, sand away, filler, stain, varnish and sealer

Depending on the type it might just have a sealer so remove the sealer and apply a new one.

HI Dave,

Floor is a posh laminate that they call engineered. Has a real woood top.

Not ideal for sanding as you can imagine and is not sealed/varnished.

If it has lots of scratches and a large area No luck I'm afraid.

if it a small area with minor scratching you can sand it, then with wire wool by hand.

Then damp wipe area, Then apply a wax or paste matching the colour.

You can get this from the companies that sell this.

Are you being serious?

Do you have a picture of it and maybe can advise better.

Yes, I've used that on real wood floors in the past and it has taken your eye off the scratches.

I tried uploading a picture on here and it's not working???
