Wood floor repair in Whittington, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?
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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Whittington questions
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Whittington

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
