About our wood floor repair in Inch
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inch
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Inch
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Inch. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Inch get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
