Wood floor repair at your home in Fellside
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fellside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
