About our wood floor repair in Ladywell
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Ladywell
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Just around the damaged area.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
