Wood floor repair at your home in Sweethaws
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Sweethaws
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sweethaws as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Repairing versus replacing in Sweethaws
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
