Wood floor repair in St Johns without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What else we do in St Johns
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Repairing versus replacing in St Johns
Swapping a damaged board often 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St Johns. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
