Wood floor repair in Ellerburn without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items 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 sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Ellerburn
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chipped board edges
- Burns

Advice
What affects the price in Ellerburn
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Ellerburn questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
