How we handle wood floor repair in Foston
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
