How we handle wood floor repair in Babbs Green
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole floor
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Babbs Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Babbs Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
