We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case.

Common questions in Lower Arncott
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your OX25 postcode.

What else we do in Lower Arncott
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Arncott use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When a repair is not the answer

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
