How we handle wood floor repair in Alt
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Alt questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Do you come to Alt?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Alt from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
