Wood Floor Repair for Easthorpe homes
Scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors in Easthorpe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Dents from dropped items

How we handle wood floor repair in Easthorpe
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. 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. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Easthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Easthorpe: your questions answered
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Easthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Easthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
