How we handle wood floor repair in Forton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
