Wood floor repair at your home in Birch
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Birch
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

- Scratches from furniture and pets
Before booking anyone

Your questions about wood floor repair in Birch
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Birch?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Birch. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
