Wood floor repair in Westdene without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for burns and scratches from furniture and pets, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
