Wood floor repair at your home in Ballymena
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Ballymena and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Ballymena and the surrounding area
Ballymena is in Northern Ireland. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes.
Postcode districts we cover here: BT42. We also travel to Antrim (8 miles south), Magherafelt (16 miles south-west), Ballymoney (18 miles north-west), Newtownabbey (18 miles south-east) and Larne (18 miles east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Local landmarks in Ballymena
We visit homes around Camphill Primary School, Adair Arms Hotel and The People's Park and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Slemish College (0.9 miles east) and St. Patrick's Church (0.7 miles north-east). Other landmarks nearby include Fairhill Centre (1 mile north) and Galgorm Castle (1.4 miles west).
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Ballymena
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ballymena. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
