Repairing versus replacing in Roughbirchworth
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our wood floor repair in Roughbirchworth
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

- What kind of damage it is

- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Before we arrive

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Roughbirchworth questions
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When to call us in Roughbirchworth
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
