Wood floor repair in Tapton, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include burns and chipped board edges, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

What else we do in Tapton
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
