About our wood floor repair in Merley
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Merley. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Questions from Merley
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Merley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repairing versus replacing in Merley
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
