How we handle wood floor repair in Littletown
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Littletown is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DH6 postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
