How we handle wood floor repair in Backburn
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Backburn: your questions answered
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Backburn?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
