Wood floor repair for Barling homes

Wood floor repair in Barling, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Barling

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
