About our wood floor repair in Southampton
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and dents from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Repair or replace in Southampton?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Southampton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Southampton
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Southampton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
