Wood floor repair at your home in Ireby

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Ireby

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Ireby questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Ireby and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Ireby?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you need wood floor repair in Ireby?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire floor

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
