How we handle wood floor repair in Footdee
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Footdee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
