Wood floor repair in Stichill, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and burns, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Stichill
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Stichill
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stichill.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What affects the price in Stichill
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stichill. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TD5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
