Wood & laminate floor repair in Elston, Nottinghamshire
Scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors at your home in Elston, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Elston
What areas do you cover?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Elston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Elston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elston
For anyone letting property in or around Elston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
