- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Wood floor repair in Tibshelf without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Tibshelf questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tibshelf. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tibshelf
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Tibshelf, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
