How we handle wood floor repair in Loans
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Loans
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Loans?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Related advice
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
