How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our wood floor repair in Headington
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 regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Headington
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Are there extra charges for Headington?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
