Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Wood floor repair in Wilminstone without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Wilminstone
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Wilminstone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Wilminstone?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
