How we handle wood floor repair in Shalfleet
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shalfleet. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Shalfleet get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
