Book wood floor repair in Great Sankey

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

About our wood floor repair in Great Sankey

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Great Sankey

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Sankey, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Sankey

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
