Wood floor repair in Braeside

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job.

Wood floor repair in Braeside without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Braeside and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Braeside

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

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges

Common questions in Braeside

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Braeside and the rest of Inverclyde. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Braeside

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Braeside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
