Wood floor repair in Paradise, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Paradise
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Paradise and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
