About our wood floor repair in High Garrett
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in High Garrett
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for High Garrett. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for High Garrett. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in High Garrett, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
