- Repairs from £95
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Wood floor repair in Westerhope, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Westerhope, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
