Wood & laminate floor repair in Linton Heath, Derbyshire
Damaged floor in Linton Heath? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Wood floor repair in Linton Heath, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
