Wood floor repair in Tunstall, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Tunstall
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace in Tunstall?
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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Tunstall questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
