How we handle wood floor repair in The Green
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. Our technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Signs you need wood floor repair in The Green
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in The Green
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
