How we handle wood floor repair in Ribchester
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
