Wood floor repair in Fern without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Fern
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Fern
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Fern: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Fern and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Fern
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
