How we handle wood floor repair in North Whilborough
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can usually put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Whilborough
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Whilborough as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in North Whilborough
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts 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. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in North Whilborough
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in North Whilborough
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in North Whilborough
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
