About our wood floor repair in Stinsford
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Stinsford
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stinsford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What else we do in Stinsford
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Common problems we fix in Stinsford
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
