How we handle wood floor repair in Ilsington
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and burns.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
