Wood floor repair in Bootham without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and burns, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Questions from Bootham

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bootham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace in Bootham?

Replacing a 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page.

What affects the price in Bootham

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bootham. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

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 price the same day in most cases.

What a repair can’t fix

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

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Bootham

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
