Your questions about wood floor repair in Firswood
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Firswood. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Firswood. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Firswood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
When to call us in Firswood
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
