Wood floor repair in Rough Knarr, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repairing versus replacing in Rough Knarr
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Rough Knarr
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rough Knarr. The price comes down to:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rough Knarr. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
