About our wood floor repair in Cheltenham
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right, on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace in Cheltenham?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water

- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
