Wood floor repair across Forder and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Wood floor repair at your home in Forder
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare

Questions from Forder
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
