Wood floor repair in Whitby without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Whitby, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
