Trusted wood floor repair in Botley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 pictures, as it can add time.

Wood floor repair in Botley, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Botley

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you work in Botley?

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Botley customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
