Trusted wood floor repair in Bowmans

Wood floor repair at your home in Bowmans

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

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.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Bowmans: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Bowmans

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Bowmans

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Bowmans, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
