Wood Floor Repair in Rodden
Wood floor repair across Rodden and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Wood floor repair in Rodden, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include burns and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Rodden
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rodden as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
