How we handle wood floor repair in Modbury
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Modbury
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Modbury: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL21 postcode.

Just around the damaged area.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
