Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we handle wood floor repair in Castleside
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Castleside questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Castleside?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Castleside. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
