How we handle wood floor repair in Houghton
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Houghton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking
- Typically one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in Houghton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Houghton. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Houghton questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Houghton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you cover Houghton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Houghton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
