Wood floor repair in Brough

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Wood floor repair in Brough, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about wood floor repair in Brough

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to Brough?

We do. We send a technician to Brough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Brough?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will 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. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
