Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skelbrooke. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Skelbrooke
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need wood floor repair in Skelbrooke
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Common questions in Skelbrooke
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 generally cheaper.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
