Wood floor repair in Benfieldside

Repairing versus replacing in Benfieldside

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we handle wood floor repair in Benfieldside

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can typically put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Benfieldside as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Benfieldside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire floor

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

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Benfieldside
