About our wood floor repair in Scales
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most often call us about burns and gouges from moving appliances.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Scales. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Scales: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Scales?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.
Do you come to Scales?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Scales and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LA12 postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
