Wood floor repair in Braithwaite, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are burns and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Braithwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Braithwaite questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Braithwaite

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braithwaite as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?
