Wood floor repair in Backwell

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Wood floor repair in Backwell without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Backwell and across North Somerset. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Backwell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Backwell: your questions answered

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

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

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped board edges

  • Gouges from moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
