Your questions about wood floor repair in Leigh
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Other services in Leigh
Do you need wood floor repair in Leigh?
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

What your quote should include

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Leigh?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Leigh

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
