About our wood floor repair in Upton
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Upton questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
