About our wood floor repair in Woodthorpe

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Woodthorpe: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Woodthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Woodthorpe and the rest of Sheffield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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.

Materials we work on in Woodthorpe

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
