Wood floor repair in Backbarrow without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Backbarrow
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in Backbarrow

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Backbarrow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
