Wood floor repair in Alexandria, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Alexandria
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Alexandria included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole floor
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
