How we handle wood floor repair in Garth
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Garth
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Garth?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LD4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
