Wood floor repair for Horwich homes

About our wood floor repair in Horwich

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and dents from dropped items.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Most clients in Horwich get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Horwich

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Horwich. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
