About our wood floor repair in St Matthew's

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in St Matthew's

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in St Matthew's

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

St Matthew's questions

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in St Matthew's?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE1 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Matthew's

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
