About our wood floor repair in Down Thomas
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are burns and dents from dropped items.
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 right away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Down Thomas clients choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Down Thomas: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Plymouth.

What affects the price in Down Thomas
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire floor
If you’re in Down Thomas and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
