Repair or replace in Leicester?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we handle wood floor repair in Leicester
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can help, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Leicester questions
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
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.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you come to Leicester?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Leicester and the rest of Leicester. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Advice
What affects the price in Leicester
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Leicester. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
