About our wood floor repair in Cockfosters
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and burns, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price.

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
