About our wood floor repair in Compton
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Questions from Compton
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Compton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Compton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
