Wood floor repair near Lotherton

Wood floor repair at your home in Lotherton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Lotherton: your questions answered

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Lotherton and the rest of Leeds. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leeds.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lotherton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lotherton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
