Wood floor repair in Houghton without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Houghton?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire floor
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Houghton
- Engineered wood

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Houghton: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Houghton included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Houghton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
