Wood floor repair in Old Shotton without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Old Shotton
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
What your quote should include

FAQs for Old Shotton
Do you come to Old Shotton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Old Shotton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
