Wood floor repair in High Spen without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in High Spen
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for High Spen?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

- How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
