How we handle wood floor repair in Locksbottom
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. 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 chipped board edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your photos

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Locksbottom. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
For a price in Locksbottom, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
