How we handle wood floor repair in Fordham
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should you replace it?

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
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.
FAQs for Fordham
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
