Wood floor repair in Dunstable, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures 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.
Advice
FAQs for Dunstable
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Dunstable?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Dunstable
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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
