We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Common questions in Irthlingborough
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Irthlingborough?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Irthlingborough
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
