About our wood floor repair in York
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in York as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.
What affects the price in York
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in York
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business

York: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in York

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
