Wood floor repair at your home in Fair Hill
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fair Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Fair Hill
Fair Hill: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
