Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Arlington. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
