Wood floor repair in The Scarr without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in The Scarr
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Questions from The Scarr
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Repairing versus replacing in The Scarr
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Scarr. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
