Wood floor repair in Buckfast without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Questions from Buckfast
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckfast

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Buckfast. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
