Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Wood floor repair in Startop's End without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
