About our wood floor repair in Whitwell Common
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Whitwell Common and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What else we do in Whitwell Common
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Whitwell Common
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
