Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Wood floor repair in Chorleywood, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you have burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Around Chorleywood, most homes have tiled kitchens, bathrooms or hard floors. Chips and scratches can be repaired without lifting anything.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy. Visits around Chorleywood are typically simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Chorleywood

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chorleywood. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
