About our wood floor repair in Sands
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, in solid wood, laminate flooring 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. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sands. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back

Your questions about wood floor repair in Sands
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Sands
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sands. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
