Wood floor repair for Failsworth homes

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Failsworth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Wood floor repair at your home in Failsworth

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
