Wood floor repair in Saltby, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Saltby
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
