When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Wood floor repair in Horncastle without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Horncastle questions
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horncastle
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Horncastle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Horncastle
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
