How we handle wood floor repair in Lake
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lake. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Advice
Lake questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Lake?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DT9 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Lake. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
