DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Silecroft. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole floor
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
