Wood floor repair in Auckland Park without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Auckland Park
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repair or replace in Auckland Park?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
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

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Auckland Park, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
