Wood floor repair for Ribbleton homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Wood floor repair at your home in Ribbleton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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

For anyone letting property in or around Ribbleton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Questions from Ribbleton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What affects the price in Ribbleton

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
