Wood floor repair at your home in Platt Bridge
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Platt Bridge
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Platt Bridge
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Platt Bridge. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Platt Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
