Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swaythling. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our wood floor repair in Swaythling
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
FAQs for Swaythling
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Swaythling.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swaythling as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
