Wood & laminate floor repair in Newtown, Cardiff
Wood floor repair across Newtown and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Wood floor repair in Newtown, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Newtown. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
