Wood floor repair at your home in Plaxtol
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Plaxtol get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Plaxtol
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
