How we handle wood floor repair in Mossley
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Mossley
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Questions from Mossley
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
