How we handle wood floor repair in Longbridge
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Longbridge: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
The entire UK, including all of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
