How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About our wood floor repair in Houghton

Laminate swollen by water can’t 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. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Houghton. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
