Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Birkhill

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Birkhill clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Birkhill. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire floor

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Birkhill

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

If you’re in Birkhill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
