How we handle wood floor repair in Thame
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Thame
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Thame and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thame.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thame. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Thame
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for these signs:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Landlord and trade work in Thame
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thame as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
