Wood & laminate floor repair in Newnham, Bedford Borough
We travel to Newnham for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Wood floor repair in Newnham, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Questions from Newnham
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
