Wood floor repair in Selby without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Selby
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Selby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Selby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Selby: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Selby?
We do. We send a technician to Selby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
