Wood floor repair at your home in Skitby
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Skitby: your questions answered
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cumbria.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Skitby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 work on in Skitby

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Skitby. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skitby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
