Wood floor repair in Reach, 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 tell you if that is the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are burns and chipped board edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Reach
Reach: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?

Can pets and children be at home?

What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Reach. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need wood floor repair in Reach?
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
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 generally the cheaper route.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Reach. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Reach. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
