Wood Floor Repair for Shireshead homes
We travel to Shireshead for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Wood floor repair in Shireshead without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot 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 wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shireshead and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Shireshead?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
