How we handle wood floor repair in Birch
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. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Birch
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Chipped board edges

Questions from Birch
Do you come to Birch?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Birch and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
