Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our wood floor repair in Heavitree
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and burns.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heavitree as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What affects the price in Heavitree
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Heavitree get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
