Wood Floor Repair for Bristol homes
Wood floor repair for Bristol, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Bristol, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Wood floor repair in Bristol, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and burns.
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 spills right away.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Repairing versus replacing in Bristol
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Bristol
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work in Bristol?
We do. We send a technician to Bristol for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What affects the price in Bristol
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bristol. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When to call us in Bristol
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
