Wood floor repair in Ilmer, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ilmer and across Buckinghamshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire floor
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Ilmer get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Ilmer
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Ilmer
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you come to Ilmer?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ilmer and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
