About our wood floor repair in Thornes
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Thornes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Thornes
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WF2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
