Wood floor repair at your home in Preston
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Preston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Preston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Preston: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you come to Preston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Preston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
