DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
Wood floor repair in Gulpher without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gulpher as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Gulpher: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gulpher. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When to call us in Gulpher
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
