Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Kirby Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirby Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Kirby Hill questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Kirby Hill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirby Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
