When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
