Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Arkesden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Arkesden. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Arkesden questions
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
