Wood floor repair in Blackbrook

About our wood floor repair in Blackbrook

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Blackbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Blackbrook questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How to compare quotes

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WA11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
