About our wood floor repair in North Molton
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in North Molton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
North Molton: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Do you need wood floor repair in North Molton?
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Common reasons people in North Molton contact us include:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure

- Whether they match the colour on site
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
