Wood floor repair in Charlton Down without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Charlton Down?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
