Wood floor repair in South Wigston

Landlord and trade work in South Wigston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Wood floor repair in South Wigston without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and burns.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Wigston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Common questions in South Wigston

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
