How we handle wood floor repair in Skelmanthorpe
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix burns and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Skelmanthorpe?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Skelmanthorpe
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
