Wood floor repair at your home in Wolvercote
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can help, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wolvercote as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wolvercote. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Wolvercote questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
