For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Wood floor repair at your home in Howbeck
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Howbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Howbeck
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
