About our wood floor repair in Shirwell
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Shirwell
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you come to Shirwell?
We do. We send a technician to Shirwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shirwell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shirwell

Repairing versus replacing in Shirwell
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
