Wood floor repair in Swallow without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Swallow

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swallow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Swallow: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Swallow?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
