About our wood floor repair in Chilton
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Questions from Chilton
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chilton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
