Wood floor repair in River, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. 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 few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GU28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
River: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach 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. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
