Wood floor repair in Ashby, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Ashby: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What else we do in Ashby
When we would advise against a repair

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
