About our wood floor repair in Alvaston
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Alvaston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Alvaston: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Alvaston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Alvaston. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alvaston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Alvaston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
