About our wood floor repair in Prestwood
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and burns.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Prestwood
Landlord and trade work in Prestwood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prestwood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Prestwood. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Prestwood
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Prestwood included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Prestwood
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for these signs:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
