About our wood floor repair in Grimsbury
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Grimsbury questions
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimsbury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Grimsbury
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
