About our wood floor repair in Berners Roding

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Berners Roding get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Berners Roding

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Berners Roding use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Berners Roding

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Berners Roding. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
