Wood floor repair at your home in Cricket Malherbie
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Cricket Malherbie
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
