Wood floor repair in Dalston, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
