Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our wood floor repair in Ormiston
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Ormiston
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
