Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Around Gibraltar
Typical jobs here are in homes near Witnesham Primary School, Lord Nelson pub and Church of St Mary. For rail, the closest station is Westerfield station, roughly 4.5 miles south.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Common problems we fix in Gibraltar
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chipped board edges
- Burns

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
