DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Wood floor repair in Thorpe Underwood, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire floor
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

Common questions in Thorpe Underwood
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Thorpe Underwood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
