DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Burneside
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Burneside questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work in Burneside?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Burneside and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Burneside?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burneside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
