About our wood floor repair in Birkenhead
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and burns, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Birkenhead. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Birkenhead
Do you cover the whole of Wirral?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Birkenhead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water

- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 usually the cheaper route.
