About our wood floor repair in Malborough
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Malborough
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlord and trade work in Malborough
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
