Wood floor repair in Alswear

Wood floor repair in Alswear, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Alswear and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Alswear

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Alswear: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What does wood floor repair cost?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Repairing versus replacing in Alswear

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
