Wood floor repair in Girton without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and burns, in solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

Common questions in Girton
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you come to Girton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Girton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Girton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
