About our wood floor repair in North Shore
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in North Shore
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
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.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
North Shore: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Blackpool?
The entire UK, including all of Blackpool. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blackpool and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Shore use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
