Wood & laminate floor repair in Whipton, Devon
Wood floor repair in Whipton without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our wood floor repair in Whipton
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Whipton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
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.
