Wood floor repair at your home in Ellen's Glen

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Ellen's Glen

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ellen's Glen. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ellen's Glen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
