About our wood floor repair in Benington

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Benington?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Benington: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Benington and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 often lifts.
