About our wood floor repair in Layerthorpe
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
