Wood floor repair at your home in Taibach
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 are dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Taibach as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Taibach
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Taibach
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
