Advice
Wood floor repair in Woodthorpe without replacing anything
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 regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Woodthorpe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Woodthorpe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Woodthorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
