Wood floor repair in Hatfield without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
