Wood floor repair at your home in Bretherton
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Bretherton
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Bretherton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
