- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How we handle wood floor repair in Burton End
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burton End. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Burton End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
