Wood floor repair at your home in Digby
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Digby
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
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’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Digby
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Digby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
