Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Gilgarran
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Gilgarran?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA14 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Repair or replace in Gilgarran?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
