DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Wood floor repair at your home in Highcliffe
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can help, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
