Wood floor repair at your home in Aughton
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 often lifts.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Aughton
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aughton. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Aughton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
