Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Higher Ince: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Higher Ince?
We do. We send a technician to Higher Ince for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Ince as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Higher Ince
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
