About our wood floor repair in Atherington

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
Atherington: your questions answered
Can you restore the original floors in an older house in Atherington?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.
Will you travel to Atherington?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Atherington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. For a rural home like those around Atherington, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while wood floor repair is one trip.
Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
