What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Wood floor repair in Allithwaite without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Allithwaite?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When to call us in Allithwaite

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allithwaite use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
