About our wood floor repair in Ash Cross

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can typically put it right, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ash Cross as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How to compare quotes

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Materials we work on in Ash Cross

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

What affects the price in Ash Cross

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ash Cross. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire floor

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Ash Cross

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
