Wood floor repair in Higher Town, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

The size and number of damaged areas
Access to the area
How many items we do on one visit
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
One sharp close-up of the damage
Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

First the damaged area is cleaned.
We fill dents, chips and gouges.
We sand the repair flush with the board.
The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

Ensure the area is dry
Point us to the nearest place to park
Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

New-build snagging: repairing chips and scratches

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

No need to remove anything
Free fixed quotes from pictures
Most jobs done in one visit
Colour mixed on the day to match

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Higher Town

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
