About our wood floor repair in Hales
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Hales
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hales included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Hales
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hales as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
