How we handle wood floor repair in Gilesgate
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gilesgate as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What else we do in Gilesgate
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Gilesgate
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
