About our wood floor repair in Gigg
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Most customers in Gigg get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Gigg
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
