About our wood floor repair in Bentley Heath

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and burns.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Questions from Bentley Heath

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover Bentley Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bentley Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Bentley Heath?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Bentley Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
