Signs you need wood floor repair in Harborne
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
