How we handle wood floor repair in Broughton Mills
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. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Landlord and trade work in Broughton Mills
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Broughton Mills. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Broughton Mills questions
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
