How we handle wood floor repair in Wormingford
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. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Wormingford questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
