Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can help, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Holywood
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Holywood?
We do. We send a technician to Holywood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Down, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Holywood. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holywood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Holywood?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
