Wood floor repair in Lilliesleaf, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 will not last.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Lilliesleaf
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Lilliesleaf
Replacing a 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
