Wood & laminate floor repair in Little Milton, Oxfordshire
Our repair technicians come to Little Milton for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Wood floor repair in Little Milton without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Little Milton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
