Wood Floor Repair across York

How wood floor repair works in York

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

When a repair is not 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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down.

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

York questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can landlords book you?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including York. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
