How we handle wood floor repair in Cottingham
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Cottingham
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cottingham. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Cottingham
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
