Whitley Lower questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
How we handle wood floor repair in Whitley Lower
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. If you are dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire floor
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Whitley Lower
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
