Wood floor repair in Derby without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Derby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Derby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Derby questions
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What affects the price in Derby
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Derby. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
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 usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
