Wood floor repair at your home in Yenston
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yenston
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Advice
Common questions in Yenston
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
