About our wood floor repair in Clappersgate
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clappersgate. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
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 generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
