How we handle wood floor repair in Upper Killay
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upper Killay and across Swansea. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Killay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Killay
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.
