Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Wood floor repair at your home in High Cross
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in High Cross
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
