Wood floor repair in Whitfield without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD4 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
