Wood floor repair in Empingham without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Empingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Empingham, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Empingham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works

- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
