How we handle wood floor repair in Instow
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and burns, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Instow: your questions answered
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you come to Instow?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Instow and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
