Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Ashton-on-Ribble, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
