WM CPTAugust 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After scouring the internet in search of a company who was able and willing to fix up a badly chipped laminate floor I eventually got in touch with Ian from Handiwerx. Ian was really easy to deal with from the initial call until after the job was done. Not only was he willing to come out to me based in regional Victoria, he offered the most competitive price by far. Not only this, the workmanship was absolutely excellent. No shortcuts were taken and the utmost care was taken to reach the very best outcome. The work was done in such detail, that I’m uncertain where the initial damage was. There seem to be many guys out there claiming to be able to do this type of work and even comes with exorbitant cost. With Handiwerx, I felt confident with this business and am glad that I trusted my instincts. To Ian, thank you very much!

Had several deep gauges in my laminate floors caused by workmen dropping tools. I was preparing to rip out and replace the whole laminate floorboard. Thank god I came across Ian at handiwerx. He convinced me he could save the floor by patching it. Glad I listened. The pics speak for themselves. Saved me a ton of time and money, the whole job took less than an hour. Now I don't even remember where the holes were. I bet you can't see them either. The work is that good. Thank you Ian. You deserve all the success in the world. I wish I could give you 6 stars.

When we purchased the home one of the laundry floor tiles was cracked and the kitchen bench top had a number of edge chips. As the floor tile was no longer available the tile supplier referred me to Handiwerx. The service person has just completed the repairs and he has done an outstanding job. The colour matching is so good I cannot see where the tile crack and chips were. I would highly recommend them.

At Handiwerx, we believe that restoring a damaged surface is more than just a repair—it’s about preserving the integrity and value of your home. We specialise in revitalising tired, worn-out surfaces, saving our clients the expense and hassle of a full replacement. This case study highlights our commitment to quality, precision, and customer satisfaction, showcasing three common repair challenges we expertly overcame.
A client’s beautiful timber floor had suffered from a noticeable chip and a cluster of scratches, marring its smooth, clean appearance. Daily foot traffic and an unfortunate accident had left the surface looking worn and damaged. Replacing the entire floor was not a viable option for the homeowner, who wanted to maintain the original look and character of their space.
Handiwerx Solution: Our team assessed the damage, carefully matching the unique grain and colour of the timber. Using our specialised repair techniques, we meticulously filled the chip and buffed away the scratches. The surface was then seamlessly blended and refinished, restoring the floor to its original, pristine condition.
A clearly visible chip and scratches disrupt the smooth finish of the timber floor.
The floor is perfectly smooth, with no trace of the previous damage. The repair is undetectable, a testament to our precision and skill.
A large, unsightly ring stain on a timber floor was the result of a long-term spill. The homeowner had tried various cleaning methods without success, and the stain had set deep into the wood, seemingly beyond repair.
Handiwerx Solution: Our experts used a multi-step process to treat the stain, carefully lifting the discolouration from the wood without causing further damage. Once the stain was removed, the area was expertly refinished and sealed. The final result not only eliminated the stain but also enhanced the floor’s overall appearance and protected it from future spills.
A large, dark circular stain is clearly visible on the timber floor.
The stain is gone, and the restored area blends perfectly with the surrounding floor, which has been brought back to life with a fresh finish.
