How we handle wood floor repair in Fordyce
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. Our technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and burns.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
