Trusted wood floor repair in Botolphs

Wood floor repair in Botolphs without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix burns and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Botolphs

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Botolphs. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Botolphs questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you price it without visiting?

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