About our wood floor repair in Lower Cox Street
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lower Cox Street, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Do you come to Lower Cox Street?
We do. We send a technician to Lower Cox Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
