Wood floor repair for Black Dog homes

How we handle wood floor repair in Black Dog

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Choosing a repair company

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Black Dog as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Black Dog: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Black Dog?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Black Dog. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Black Dog customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
