DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Wood floor repair at your home in Carrickfergus
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Carrickfergus, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Carrickfergus questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Repairing versus replacing in Carrickfergus
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
