Wood floor repair in Uppingham without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Uppingham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uppingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Uppingham questions

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Uppingham?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
