About our wood floor repair in Banks

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Banks as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire floor

If you are in Banks and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we are called out for in Banks

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work 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. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Banks

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
