Wood floor repair in Raby without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, across engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Raby
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Raby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
