Wood floor repair at your home in Kirby-le-Soken
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with burns and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
