About our wood floor repair in Bocking

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and burns, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bocking and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

What affects the price in Bocking

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bocking. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Bocking and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Bocking: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Bocking?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Bocking?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
