Wood floor repair at your home in Kirkby
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Kirkby
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover Kirkby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kirkby and the rest of Knowsley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Knowsley?
The entire UK, including all of Knowsley. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Kirkby?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your L32 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
