Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s burns and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fordington as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Fordington
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Fordington?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Fordington
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fordington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
