Wood floor repair in Drinkstone, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What affects the price in Drinkstone
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP30 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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