How we handle wood floor repair in Southville
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about burns and dents from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Southville: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, 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 you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
