DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our wood floor repair in Longtown
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longtown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
