Wood floor repair at your home in Hawkshead

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hawkshead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Hawkshead

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
