How we handle wood floor repair in Raughton Head
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are burns and dents from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Raughton Head use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Raughton Head?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
