About our wood floor repair in Saltergate
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Saltergate: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Saltergate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Saltergate. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Saltergate?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
