About our wood floor repair in Hurlston
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and dents from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hurlston. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Hurlston: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
