Wood floor repair in Upperby, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Upperby: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Upperby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Upperby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
