Wood floor repair at your home in Leavesden
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Leavesden: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace in Leavesden?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: 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 Leavesden
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leavesden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
