Wood floor repair for Bishopstone homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Bishopstone

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include burns and gouges from moving appliances, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Bishopstone

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishopstone. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
