How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

Common questions in Barrow
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Barrow?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Barrow and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
