About our wood floor repair in Lane End
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Lane End
Are there extra charges for Lane End?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Lane End
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
