Repairing versus replacing in Ingleton

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ingleton

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Ingleton

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ingleton. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
