How we handle wood floor repair in Wakes Colne
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Wakes Colne: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Wakes Colne?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wakes Colne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Wakes Colne
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
