About our wood floor repair in Whitley
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whitley as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Whitley
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Whitley?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SN12 postcode.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you come to Whitley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitley
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
