Can you repair a scratch on a laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and gouges on laminate floors so they blend invisibly with the surrounding boards.

Can you repair a burn mark on a laminate floor?

Yes. Heat and cigarette burns are one of our most common floor repairs. We rebuild the damaged area and match the colour and grain of the original board.

Is it worth repairing a laminate floor instead of replacing it?

In most cases yes, especially when the product is discontinued. Replacing individual boards is often impossible, and relaying the whole floor is expensive and disruptive. A professional repair is far more cost-effective.

Can you repair LVT (luxury vinyl tile) flooring?

Yes. We repair scratches, chips and gouges on LVT and luxury vinyl plank flooring, colour-matched and sealed to a durable, foot-traffic-resistant finish.

How long does a floor repair take?

Most individual floor repairs are completed in under two hours in a single visit. Larger areas with multiple boards may take a half day.

Can you repair a dent in a wooden floor caused by a furniture leg?

Yes. Furniture dents are very common, particularly with solid and engineered wood floors. We fill the dent, match the grain and seal the repair to blend with the surrounding boards.

My floor was damaged during a house move — can you fix it?

Yes. Removal and move-in damage to floors — scratches, gouges and dents caused by furniture being dragged — is one of our most common repair jobs.

Will the floor repair withstand foot traffic?

Yes. All our floor repairs are sealed with a hard-wearing protective coat matched to the existing floor finish. The repair is designed to withstand normal household foot traffic.

My laminate floor is discontinued — can it still be repaired?

Yes, and this is actually when a repair is most valuable. Because an exact replacement board cannot be sourced, a colour-matched in-situ repair is the only way to restore the floor without relaying the whole room.

Floor & Laminate Repair

A damaged board does not mean relaying the entire floor. We repair scratches, chips and dents on the spot, blending them into the surrounding boards.

Relaying a floor because of one or two damaged boards is expensive and wasteful — and often the original product is no longer available. Our board-by-board repairs restore the damaged area in place, matching the colour, grain and sheen of your existing floor.

We repair laminate, vinyl, LVT (luxury vinyl tile), engineered and solid wood flooring, tackling scratches, chips, dents, gouges and heat or cigarette burns. The repaired area is sealed to match the surrounding finish and stand up to everyday foot traffic.

It is the ideal solution for damage caused by moving furniture, dropped objects or pets, restoring a flawless floor without the upheaval and cost of a full replacement.

Repairing individual damaged boards costs a fraction of relaying an entire floor. A new laminate floor supply and fit can cost £500–£2,000 or more — a professional board repair is a fraction of that. In most cases the original product is discontinued, making a seamless repair the only practical option.

Repair vs. replace — why it makes sense

Before spending thousands on replacement, consider what a professional cosmetic repair actually delivers.

Laminate flooring is the most widely fitted floor covering in UK homes, and the embossed wood grain surface means colour matching requires a skilled eye and the right range of repair waxes and compounds. We build up the repair in thin layers to match the depth of the grain, then apply a surface sealant matched to the sheen level of the surrounding boards.

LVT and luxury vinyl plank floors are very popular in modern homes and, while durable, can be gouged by furniture legs or damaged by heavy dropped objects. These repairs are particularly cost-effective as LVT products are often changed between product runs, meaning an exact replacement tile or plank may not be available in the same batch or colour.

Engineered and solid wood floors can be sanded and refinished as a whole, but isolated scratches, dents and chips are often better repaired in place using coloured waxes and hard-setting compounds that fill the damaged area and match the grain. This avoids the disruption of furniture removal and the weeks of drying time associated with a full floor refinish.

How it works

A straightforward process, from first contact to finished repair.

01
Assess the damage
We assess the scratches, chips or burns and confirm which boards need attention. Most floor repairs are quoted quickly from a photo sent via WhatsApp or email.
02
Clean and prepare
The area is cleaned thoroughly. Any loose or lifted material is removed to create a solid, stable base for the repair compound.
03
Fill and colour-match
The damaged area is filled layer by layer, shaped to match the grain profile and colour-matched using a blend of repair waxes and compounds to blend with the surrounding boards.
04
Sealed and hard-wearing
The repair is sealed to match the existing floor sheen — matt, satin or gloss — and withstand everyday foot traffic.
