Advice
Wood floor repair in Little Ireland, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
