Wood floor repair at your home in Crossgates
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can typically put it right, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crossgates as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
