Wood floor repair at your home in Ackton
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ackton. The price depends on:

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ackton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ackton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
