FAQs for Pen-tŵyn
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Wood floor repair in Pen-tŵyn without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pen-tŵyn and across Caerphilly. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Pen-tŵyn

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
