Laminate Flooring Repair in Sidmouth

### Don't Replace Your Whole Floor Over a Few Bad Boards

So you've got **a few laminate boards that are chipped, swollen, or cracked**, and the whole floor looks rough because of them. Before you rip everything up and start again, most laminate damage can be repaired by replacing just the affected boards. It's quicker, cheaper, and you don't have to move every stick of furniture out of the room.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Keep a few spare boards from any laminate installation. They're worth their weight in gold when you need repairs years later and the exact pattern has been discontinued.
