About our wood floor repair in Marldon

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are 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 immediately.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
