Wood floor repair at your home in Appleford-on-Thames

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Appleford-on-Thames

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Appleford-on-Thames?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
