Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to move furniture?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Wood floor repair in Astwick without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can help, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job without visiting.
