Wood floor repair at your home in Cardiff

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Cardiff

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Cardiff

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

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Cardiff questions

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.
