DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle wood floor repair in Swalwell
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
