Wood floor repair in Ellesmere, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ellesmere
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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 to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Ellesmere
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ellesmere. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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