When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Wood floor repair at your home in Weare Giffard
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Weare Giffard. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
