Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

First the damaged area is cleaned.
We fill dents, chips and gouges.
We sand the repair flush with the board.
We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

Keep a parking space free if you can
Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

New-build snagging: repairing chips and scratches

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Knighton questions

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What areas do you cover?

All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Knighton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

How we price wood floor repair

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

How many items we do on one visit
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Access to the area
The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

One picture of the entire floor
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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.
