Wood floor repair in Baldersby St James without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Baldersby St James

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Baldersby St James.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 generally cheaper.

When to call us in Baldersby St James

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
