Wood floor repair in Appleton without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
