How we handle wood floor repair in Wideopen
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Wideopen
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Landlord and trade work in Wideopen
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wideopen use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Wideopen
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
