Wood floor repair at your home in Nettlestead
Boards are repaired where they lie, 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 laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Questions from Nettlestead
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Nettlestead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
