Wood floor repair in Larkbeare without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Larkbeare

Repairing versus replacing in Larkbeare

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Larkbeare. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

What affects the price in Larkbeare
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
