About our wood floor repair in Windygates
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Windygates. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KY8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Windygates
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
