Wood floor repair near Buckabank

About our wood floor repair in Buckabank

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Buckabank, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Buckabank

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckabank

If you manage property in Buckabank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckabank as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work 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. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
