DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle wood floor repair in Smallbridge
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

FAQs for Smallbridge
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What affects the price in Smallbridge
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Smallbridge
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
