Wood floor repair at your home in Clifton
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and chipped board edges.
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 up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Clifton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Clifton?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clifton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
