How we handle wood floor repair in Old Chiswick
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Chiswick
Replacing a 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Old Chiswick
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Old Chiswick, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
