About our wood floor repair in Gaunts
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, 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 dents from dropped items and burns.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Gaunts
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent 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?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
