Book wood floor repair in Allercombe

What affects the price in Allercombe

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About our wood floor repair in Allercombe

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’re frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Allercombe?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Questions from Allercombe

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
