Wood floor repair in Whitley without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

FAQs for Whitley
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
