Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

About our wood floor repair in Plains Farm

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Plains Farm

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Most clients in Plains Farm get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Plains Farm

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
