Wood Floor Repair in Chatterton

- Repairs from £95

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our wood floor repair in Chatterton
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chatterton. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
