How we handle wood floor repair in Ladybarn
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ladybarn as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ladybarn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Ladybarn: your questions answered
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Ladybarn?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Landlord and trade work in Ladybarn
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
