About our wood floor repair in South Earlswood
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in South Earlswood
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in South Earlswood?
We do. We send a technician to South Earlswood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in South Earlswood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
