Trusted wood floor repair in Gotham

Wood floor repair in Gotham without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Gotham

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gotham. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Gotham

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gotham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Gotham

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Gotham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gotham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
