About our wood floor repair in Widford
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
