Wood floor repair in Kirkby Stephen without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

Choosing a repair company

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Kirkby Stephen

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Kirkby Stephen?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Kirkby Stephen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit
