What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Earl's Court. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Earl's Court
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
