Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Repairing versus replacing in Abington Vale

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abington Vale. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Abington Vale. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
