How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thornton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire floor
Most clients in Thornton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Wood floor repair in Thornton without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Thornton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
