Wood floor repair in Ashwell without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ashwell. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Ashwell: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
