When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Waterloo get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
