Wood floor repair for Yaxley homes

About our wood floor repair in Yaxley

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 solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Yaxley and across Cambridgeshire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace in Yaxley?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Yaxley

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Yaxley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Yaxley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
