About our wood floor repair in Graveley
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
Somewhere like Graveley, floors in older homes have frequently been down a long time, so a replacement rarely matches. A repair keeps what you have.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included. In a village or hamlet like Graveley, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the wood floor repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Graveley. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Graveley
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Graveley Primary School, tiled corridors and washrooms can be repaired in place too.
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Graveley: your questions answered
Can you fix floors at a school or business in Graveley?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Send photos and details of the building.
Do you come out to small places like Graveley?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. In an older home in a village like Graveley, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
