Wood floor repair in Austerlands, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach 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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
