How we handle wood floor repair in Shiney Row
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Shiney Row
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Shiney Row questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
If you are in Shiney Row and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
