About our wood floor repair in Southwaite
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Southwaite and across Cumbria. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Southwaite?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

FAQs for Southwaite
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
