About our wood floor repair in Shute

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shute as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shute. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Shute questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you cover Shute?

We do. Technicians travel to Shute from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
