Wood floor repair at your home in Poets Estate

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we’re called out for in Poets Estate

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Poets Estate. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Poets Estate, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit
