Wood floor repair in Abinger Bottom

Common questions in Abinger Bottom

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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 anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Wood floor repair in Abinger Bottom, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abinger Bottom as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Abinger Bottom, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

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

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Repairing versus replacing in Abinger Bottom

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
