About our wood floor repair in Bents
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
FAQs for Bents
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Bents?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bents for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Bents is covered. Prices do not change with location.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Bents
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring

Repairing versus replacing in Bents
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bents. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
