How we handle wood floor repair in Cathays
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Common questions in Cathays
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Cathays
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cathays
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
