About our wood floor repair in Alphamstone

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Alphamstone and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Alphamstone questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Alphamstone?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Alphamstone?

We do. Technicians travel to Alphamstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alphamstone

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
