Wood floor repair in Fernwood, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and burns.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Fernwood
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Questions from Fernwood
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
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 there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Fernwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fernwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fernwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
