How we handle wood floor repair in Kidmore End
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kidmore End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
