Wood floor repair at your home in Penn Hill
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace in Penn Hill?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Related advice
Penn Hill: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Penn Hill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
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.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
