About our wood floor repair in Salterbeck
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Salterbeck
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salterbeck as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Salterbeck: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
