Restore, don’t replace

Even tired, scratched or stained floors can usually be brought back to life with the right repairs. Our wood floor repair service tackles cosmetic damage, colour issues, pet stains and water marks so your floor blends beautifully with the rest of your home.

Cosmetic wood floor repairs

Small areas of damage can be surprisingly distracting. We repair:

• Chips and dents from dropped objects
• Minor gouges and impact marks
• Localised wear in doorways and high‑traffic areas
• Filler cracks between boards where movement has occurred

Using professional fillers, repair compounds and careful sanding, we level and smooth the damaged area, ready for re‑finishing so the repair becomes part of the floor, not a patch.

Colour correction and blending

If your floor has been sanded before, or has faded in sunlight, different areas can end up different shades. Our colour correction service helps to:

• Even out patchy or “spotty” staining
• Blend old and new boards together
• Reduce the look of sun‑bleached areas near windows or doors
• Match repairs to existing finishes as closely as possible

We test stains and finishes on small areas first, then gradually build colour until the repaired section sits naturally with the rest of the room.

Scratch and surface damage repair

Scratches from furniture, pets and everyday life are one of the most common issues we see. Depending on depth and severity, we can:

• Buff out light surface scratching with fine abrasives and polishing
• Sand and refinish small scratched areas where possible
• Include heavier scratching in a full‑room sand and refinish
• Advise on felt pads and simple steps to prevent future damage

Where scratches have gone through the finish into bare wood, we recommend including those areas in a wider sanding and re‑coating plan to avoid obvious “spot” patches.

Pet stain treatment

Accidents from dogs and cats can leave dark, stubborn stains that sit deep in the wood. We offer:

• Careful assessment of how deep the staining has travelled
• Localised sanding to reduce mild to moderate staining
• Specialist treatment options where appropriate
• Advice on when a board replacement is the better long‑term fix

In some cases, pet urine permanently discolours the wood fibres. Where this happens, we’ll be completely honest about what’s possible, and may recommend board replacement in that area as part of a wider restoration.

Water damage assessment and repair

Leaks and spills can cause cupping, swelling and black marks. We provide a thorough water damage assessment before any repair work starts:

• Check moisture levels to ensure the floor is dry enough to work on
• Identify boards that can be sanded and saved
• Highlight any areas where replacement is required
• Plan a repair and refinishing schedule that fits around your home or business

Once the floor has fully dried, we can sand, repair and refinish affected areas, or combine this with a full‑room restoration for a consistent finish.
