About our wood floor repair in St Sidwells
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from St Sidwells
How much does wood floor repair cost in St Sidwells?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What affects the price in St Sidwells
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.

Repairing versus replacing in St Sidwells
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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
