About our wood floor repair in Alfold
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Alfold. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
