About our wood floor repair in Toab
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Toab
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Toab. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole floor
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is 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 reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Toab
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Toab?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Toab. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
