Your questions about wood floor repair in Walkden

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Salford.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Wood floor repair in Walkden without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Walkden and across Salford. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Repairing versus replacing in Walkden

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
