Wood floor repair at your home in Meadowbank
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Meadowbank: your questions answered
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Meadowbank?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Meadowbank for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meadowbank as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
