Repairing versus replacing in Elmesthorpe
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. 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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Wood floor repair at your home in Elmesthorpe
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Elmesthorpe
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
