Wood floor repair at your home in Tremorfa
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tremorfa. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Tremorfa
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Tremorfa. Prices don’t change with location.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
