Trusted wood floor repair in Blackwood

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Wood floor repair in Blackwood without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Blackwood

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Blackwood. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Blackwood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Common questions in Blackwood

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Blackwood?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
