Wood Floor Repair for Three Horse Shoes homes
Our repair technicians come to Three Horse Shoes for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Wood floor repair at your home in Three Horse Shoes
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can usually put it right, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- 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
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire floor
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Three Horse Shoes
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
