Wood floor repair in Southford without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix burns and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Southford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Southford
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
