Advice
Wood floor repair in Wigan without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.
When to call us in Wigan
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Wigan, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Wigan
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we’d advise against a repair
