Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Helmdon
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances

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 works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
