How we handle wood floor repair in Shanklin Village
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Shanklin Village: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you come to Shanklin Village?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shanklin Village and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole floor
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
