Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

About our wood floor repair in Holmside
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holmside
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Holmside: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holmside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
