How we handle wood floor repair in Chorley
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chorley and across Staffordshire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Chorley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Chorley
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Chorley questions
How much does wood floor repair cost in Chorley?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WS13 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Chorley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Chorley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
