Wood floor repair in Wem without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Signs you need wood floor repair in Wem
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

- Underfloor damage

What we work on
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
