Your questions about wood floor repair in Patchole
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Patchole
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
