Wood floor repair in Norton without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Norton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Norton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
