Wood floor repair in Whittingham, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Whittingham
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Whittingham
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whittingham. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For a price in Whittingham, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Whittingham: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whittingham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
