How we handle wood floor repair in Thornby
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can usually put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.

- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit

Related advice
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornby. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Thornby questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
