Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Why Backford Cross customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Backford Cross. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Backford Cross, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Backford Cross

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

Backford Cross questions

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you come to Backford Cross?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Backford Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

We cover the whole UK, including Backford Cross and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Backford Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
