Landlord and trade work in Waterloo
For anyone letting property in or around Waterloo, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Wood floor repair at your home in Waterloo
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Waterloo
Do you work in Waterloo?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Waterloo and the rest of Caerphilly. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 pictures.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Waterloo, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
