Wood floor repair in Breadsall, 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 tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can generally put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Breadsall

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

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Breadsall

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Breadsall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
