About our wood floor repair in Knowle
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and chipped board edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Repairing versus replacing in Knowle
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
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 are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
