Wood floor repair at your home in Merrington Lane
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Questions from Merrington Lane
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Merrington Lane included. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Merrington Lane get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
