Wood floor repair in South Street, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.
