Wood floor repair in Baxenden without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Baxenden questions
Do you work in Baxenden?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Baxenden. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Baxenden?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace in Baxenden?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Other services in Baxenden
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BB5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
