How we handle wood floor repair in Surbiton
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Other services in Surbiton
Surbiton: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Surbiton

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in Surbiton
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
