Wood floor repair at your home in Orlingbury
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Orlingbury
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Orlingbury
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
