DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle wood floor repair in Slapton
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about chipped board edges and burns.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Slapton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Slapton and want a price, pictures 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.
Repair or replace in Slapton?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
