Wood floor repair in Chapels without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

FAQs for Chapels

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Chapels?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Should you replace it?

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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Chapels

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chapels. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
