Wood floor repair near Cockerham

Wood floor repair in Cockerham without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Cockerham

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cockerham. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need wood floor repair in Cockerham?

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Common questions in Cockerham

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Landlord and trade work in Cockerham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
