About our wood floor repair in Balfour
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for burns and chipped board edges, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Balfour
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace in Balfour?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
