How we handle wood floor repair in Atherton
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Atherton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Atherton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Atherton

Questions from Atherton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wigan.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Wigan. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you cover Atherton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Atherton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
