Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Sowerby: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Sowerby and the rest of Calderdale. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sowerby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
