Wood floor repair in Matlock Bath, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and burns.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
