About our wood floor repair in Northampton
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

FAQs for Northampton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Northampton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
Repairing versus replacing in Northampton
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
