Wood floor repair near Bovingdon

Wood floor repair in Bovingdon, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight 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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole floor

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HP3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Bovingdon

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
