Wood floor repair in Far Cotton without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right, on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to 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 you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Far Cotton. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what 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 clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Just around the damaged area.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
