Wood floor repair at your home in Chorley
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Chorley
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Chorley included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chorley. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Chorley?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
