Wood floor repair in Hemswell without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hemswell. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Hemswell
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
