Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

About our wood floor repair in Thornton
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thornton and across Lancashire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Thornton
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
