Repairing versus replacing in Ashton
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle wood floor repair in Ashton
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashton. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Ashton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
