How we handle wood floor repair in Bath
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Bath
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bath, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlord and trade work in Bath
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
