Wood floor repair at your home in Leadgate
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) 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. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Leadgate. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Leadgate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA9 postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Leadgate
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Repairing versus replacing in Leadgate
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Leadgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
