How we handle wood floor repair in Whiddon Down
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Whiddon Down questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the whole UK, including Whiddon Down and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
