How we handle wood floor repair in Buntingford
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buntingford
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Buntingford
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Buntingford
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
