Wood floor repair for Bacup homes

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Wood floor repair at your home in Bacup

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Bacup

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your OL13 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

What affects the price in Bacup

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bacup. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Bacup

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
