Wood & laminate floor repair in Whempstead, Hertfordshire
Wood floor repair in and around Whempstead: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Wood floor repair in Whempstead, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

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 leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole floor
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Whempstead
Are there extra charges for Whempstead?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
