Wood floor repair at your home in Merrivale
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. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Merrivale, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Merrivale
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merrivale
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
