Wood floor repair in Legburthwaite, done in place

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Legburthwaite
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Legburthwaite
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Legburthwaite
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Legburthwaite?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Legburthwaite and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Legburthwaite. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
