Trusted wood floor repair in Bowscar

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Wood floor repair in Bowscar without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to compare quotes

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowscar

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Bowscar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bowscar questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Bowscar?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bowscar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
