Wood floor repair for Avoch homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Avoch

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Avoch

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Avoch

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Avoch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
