Wood floor repair in Shacklewell without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Shacklewell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Are there extra charges for Shacklewell?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
Across the UK, so Shacklewell is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Shacklewell?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
