- Repairs from £95

- Dents from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle wood floor repair in Germiston
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Germiston
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Germiston
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
