Wood floor repair in Ladywell, done in place
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. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ladywell
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
