Wood Floor Repair for Lumb homes
Wood floor repair across Lumb and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lumb 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 price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Wood floor repair in Lumb, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

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. Repairing it leaves the floor down. 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.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Lumb
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Lumb?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When to call us in Lumb
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Lumb
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
