Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Wood floor repair at your home in Newmill
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Questions from Newmill
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Newmill

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
