DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Wood floor repair in Ellesmere Port without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Ellesmere Port
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
