What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Wood floor repair in Whitworth, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whitworth and across Rochdale. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Whitworth customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need wood floor repair in Whitworth?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Questions from Whitworth

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
