About our wood floor repair in Southside
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, in solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Repairing versus replacing in Southside
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Southside
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Questions from Southside
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Landlord and trade work in Southside
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
