Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Headstone as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Headstone questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
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.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area 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 look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
