All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ellistown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Ellistown
If you manage property in Ellistown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need wood floor repair in Ellistown?
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
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
What a repair can’t fix
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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What affects the price in Ellistown
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Ellistown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
FAQs for Ellistown
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Ellistown?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Just around the damaged area.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
