About our wood floor repair in Walworth
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Walworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Walworth
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Walworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SE1P postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
