Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sowerby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Sowerby
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Sowerby included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
