Before beginning the refinishing process, gym floor contractors often perform minor repairs to ensure that the floor is smooth and structurally sound. This may involve filling in small cracks, chips, or gouges with wood filler or other specialized repair compounds. These materials are carefully applied to the damaged areas, and once they dry, the floor is sanded down to ensure a seamless surface.
For more extensive repairs, such as large cracks or sections of the floor that are severely damaged, contractors may need to replace individual boards or sections of the floor. After the repairs are made, the floor is sanded and refinished, restoring its original appearance and function. This process helps extend the life of the floor, preventing further damage and ensuring that the gym floor remains safe and usable for years to come.
