The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as St Ibbs, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Wood floor repair in St Ibbs, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
In a village like St Ibbs, older homes may have tiled or wooden floors that have been down for years, so a replacement rarely matches. A repair keeps what you have.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in St Ibbs?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Replacement in St Ibbs means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
