Wood floor repair at your home in Bowness-on-Solway
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Bowness-on-Solway
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from Bowness-on-Solway
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bowness-on-Solway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Bowness-on-Solway
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
