Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle wood floor repair in Thornford
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Thornford
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
