What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

All of Blackburn with Darwen, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Eccleshill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How we handle wood floor repair in Eccleshill

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Eccleshill

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Eccleshill. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Eccleshill

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
