Wood floor repair in Dalton, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dalton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dalton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dalton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Dalton questions
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Repairing versus replacing in Dalton
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
