How we handle wood floor repair in Balterley
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Balterley: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW2 postcode.
Do you come to Balterley?
We do. We send a technician to Balterley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Balterley. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
