Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Burton questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Burton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BH23 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
