Wood Floor Repair for Hockliffe homes
Our repair technicians come to Hockliffe for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
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 give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Wood floor repair in Hockliffe, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Hockliffe
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
