Wood floor repair in Old Wives Lees, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We are often asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 often lifts.
Common questions in Old Wives Lees
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Old Wives Lees
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
