Repair or replace in Backford?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. For a rural home like those around Backford, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

About our wood floor repair in Backford
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.
Somewhere like Backford, floors in older homes have frequently been down a long time, so a replacement rarely matches. Repairing the damage keeps the original.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What else we do in Backford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. In a village or hamlet like Backford, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Backford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
