Wood floor repair for Armathwaite homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Armathwaite

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with burns and dents from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Armathwaite

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Armathwaite?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Armathwaite

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Armathwaite customers choose us

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
