Wood floor repair at your home in Ancoats

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s burns and chipped board edges, we can help, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Ancoats?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring

Your questions about wood floor repair in Ancoats

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Ancoats?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ancoats. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for Ancoats?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
