Wood floor repair at your home in Gartmore
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally cheaper.
FAQs for Gartmore
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What affects the price in Gartmore
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gartmore, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
