About our wood floor repair in Didcot

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include burns and dents from dropped items, across laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK

What affects the price in Didcot

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When to call us in Didcot

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
