DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood

FAQs for Fankerton
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Fankerton?
We do. We send a technician to Fankerton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Fankerton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Landlord and trade work in Fankerton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fankerton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
