About our wood floor repair in Appspond
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months in Appspond and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL2 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Appspond use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
