Wood floor repair for Axminster homes

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Wood floor repair in Axminster, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix burns and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Axminster

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Axminster?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Axminster from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Do you need wood floor repair in Axminster?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Axminster?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Axminster customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
