What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring

How we handle wood floor repair in Cottered
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with burns and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Repairing versus replacing in Cottered
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Cottered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Most customers in Cottered get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cottered
If you manage property in Cottered, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
