Wood floor repair in Penllergaer without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Penllergaer
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Penllergaer, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
