Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What else we do in Northlew
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need wood floor repair in Northlew?
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Northlew questions
Do I have to be there?
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 pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
