How we handle wood floor repair in Saxelbye
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Saxelbye and across Leicestershire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Saxelbye questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saxelbye use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Saxelbye, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
